About this property

  • The Lee Estate comprises about 1,115.36 acres of mixed arable, grass and woodland. Well accessed from minor roads, the land is lightly undulating in nature and located in a highly attractive Buckinghamshire location within the Chilterns Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This is first time the Estate has come to the market in over one hundred years.

    The land is occupied under a range of tenancy and contract farming arrangements with local farmers. Grazing and mowing agreements are also in place across parts of the land surrounding the village. These expire at the end of September 2023.

    The village itself and surrounding land has been the location for a number of films and television dramas, most recently Midsummer Murders.

    In addition to the land there is a very pretty detached cottage set within The Park (Lot 3). There is also a useful set of farm buildings at Home Farm (Lot 8) which provide both livestock housing and grain storage. There is a further small building on Lot 5 which may provide opportunity for alternative uses.

    The topography and planting of the land would lend itself well to the establishment of a small shoot.

    The Estate is being offered for sale as a whole or in 14 lots.

A significant Buckinghamshire land holding of over 1,110 acres which is being offered for sale for the first time in over 100 years.
