THE HISTORY

Shenley Park House has historical links to the World War II Codebreakers of Bletchley Park who were featured in the Oscar winning film The Imitation Game. American cryptographers stayed at the house and worked alongside Alan Turing who successfully decoded German messages using The Enigma Machine significantly shortening the length of World War II.

GROUND FLOOR

The house is approached via a fine doric columned porch with arched fanlight and 6 panel door leading into an impressive reception hall with 3.3m ceiling height, flagstone flooring and a superb turned staircase set to the end of the hall which rises to the first floor.
Lying to the right, the dual aspect drawing room has a feature fireplace with inset log burning stove, decorative wall panelling, cornicing and two full-length windows and doors provide access to the Orangery. Originally constructed in the 1930’s and significantly improved with double-glazed full-height and width picture windows and doors to the terrace, the Orangery is a delightful room for entertaining and enjoys a super view over the garden.

Further rooms flow from the gym and offer excellent dry storage for suitcases, Christmas decorations etc and there is a wine and drinks cellar. Two further gas boilers which serve the property’s central heating are housed on this level.

The garden is particularly private with enclosed fenced and hedged boundaries with mature yew and laurel screening. Good size lawns with a perimeter pathway are set around established mature trees and planted borders. Of worthy note is a sculptured and carved Cedar of Lebanon tree hollowed out with a seat inside the trunk which accompanies a further carved garden bench created from the wood of the original Cedar tree.

Adjacent to this is a purpose-built outdoor kitchen which comes equipped with a gas-fired barbecue and grill, storage cupboards and preparation areas.
