About this property

Hidden within the tranquil village of Mentmore, on the edge of the historic Mentmore Estate, The Shire House is a captivating Victorian stable conversion that offers a rare blend of character, contemporary living and village tranquillity.

Originally built as part of the estate's working stables, the property has been thoughtfully transformed into a home that celebrates its heritage while embracing modern family life. From the moment you step inside, the sense of space is immediately apparent. The dramatic vaulted reception room, with its exposed timber framework, oak flooring and impressive ceiling height, creates an atmosphere unlike a conventional home. Flooded with natural light from overhead skylights and overlooked by a striking mezzanine gallery, it is a room designed as much for entertaining as it is for everyday living.

The agent hasn't said which band this home is in; you can look it up on GOV.UK. In Buckinghamshire, 2026/27 bills run from £1,684 a year in band A to £5,053 in band H.

Figures from MHCLG (Open Government Licence v3): the average bill for each band across Buckinghamshire, including the typical parish precept, so a parish's own bill can differ a little. Discounts lower the bill, such as 25% off for an adult living alone.
