A breathtaking five-bedroom country mansion, once bestowed by King Charles II upon one of his lovers, is now available on the market for just under £2.4 million.

The charming Grade II property, situated in Radnage, Buckinghamshire, spans over 3,842 square feet and boasts a rich history dating back to around 1600.

Legend has it that King Charles II bestowed the manor upon one of his mistresses, although the house itself had already stood for several decades by that time.

The manor of Radnage is believed to have come under Crown ownership after the Norman Conquest, with local lore even suggesting that Radnage Bottom Farm served as kennels and a hunting lodge utilized by King John before he granted it to the Knights Templar in 1215.

The property, complete with Grade II listed barns, has been in the same family’s possession for the past 36 years. Among the barns, one serves as a current party venue. Three of the bedrooms boast en-suites, while the kitchen acts as the focal point of the home, leading to a discreet study, utility room, workshop, pantry, conservatory, and boot room. The property’s allure lies in its character, featuring exposed beams, handsome fireplaces, and original doors. Radnage Bottom Farm exudes romantic charm throughout. The spacious sitting room showcases a large inglenook fireplace with cozy seats on either side and an old bread oven. Outdoors, nestled in the picturesque Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the house is surrounded by a garden that includes an old well, an orchard, and a recently resurfaced tennis court.

“The property boasts impressive fireplaces throughout,” states the listing site.

Approached over a gravel drive with a large turning circle at the front of the house, the mature gardens primarily consist of lawns with wide flowerbeds, including a hellebore walk, and shrubs, interspersed with a variety of mature deciduous and coniferous trees, including a large yew tree to the side of the house.

To the west of the house lies an old well, while an orchard extends from the gardens to the south of the property. Additionally, a recently resurfaced tennis court is situated in a raised position in the north of the grounds.

“The house is enveloped by well-fenced grass fields, connected to water.”

Earlier this year, a home in the Cotswolds, believed to have been a refuge for King Charles II during his escape from the Civil War, entered the market for £3.25 million.

The 500-year-old property in Gloucestershire was nestled on 2.08 acres of land and had been owned by the same family for the past 40 years.

Known as The Old Manor House in the Cotswolds, this property is believed to be where King Charles II sought refuge on the night of September 11, 1651, following his defeat at the Battle of Worcester.

It belonged to John George, who served as MP for Cirencester during the Civil War from 1626 until 1629.
