The inspiration for Gwendolen Fairfax. Set within a private, wrap-around acre, Hitcham Vale is a distinguished 4,000+ sq ft Victorian residence that perfectly balances 19th-century soul with 21st-century 'Country Club' luxury. Famously linked to the social circle that inspired Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a home of documented architectural significance just 40 minutes from the City. 

The Lifestyle: Country Soul, City Connection
- The Grounds: An established one-acre sanctuary featuring a 32ft heated swimming pool, a full size grass tennis court and two stables. 
- The Commute: A scenic woodland walk leads to Taplow Station, offering a direct 40-minute Elizabeth Line connection to Paddington, Bond Street and Canary Wharf
- The Outbuildings: A substantial 1,000 sq ft detached studio with separate access via Parliament Lane, ideal for a professional home office, a private gym or a 6 car collection.

The Residence: 1885 Elegance Reimagined
First feature in The Builders in 1885 as a 'masterpiece of Victorian contrast', the home retains its soaring ceiling heights, original leaded light windows and 'cathedral-grade' integrity. 
- Entertaining: Five expansive reception rooms filled with year-round light, featuring elegant, cornicing, open fires and French doors that blur the line between the interiors and the Astor-heritage gardens.
- The Heart of the Home: A warm, Aga-anchored breakfast room serves as the morning hub, while a self-contained top-floor apartment offers ideal flexibility for a nanny or extended family. 
- Versatility: Includes a dedicated home office and a ground floor bedroom suite with disabled access, ensuring the home adapts to every stage of life. 

A Legacy of the 'Souls'
Once home to Gwendolen Bourke - the high society muse for Wilde's most iconic character - Hitcham Vale sits at the heart of the 'Taplow Triangle'. Boarded by the legendary estates of the Cliveden and Taplow Court, the property enjoys a distinctly rural outlook with direct access to the bridleways of Hunts Wood, yet remaining 20 minutes from Heathrow. Hitcham Vale is more than a home; its a two-fold investment: a distinguished period residence and a highly flexible lifestyle estate capable of supporting the most ambitious professional or creative pursuits.
