To be, or not to be – that is the question for whether you will be the owner of this fantastic historic home recently added to the market.
The seven-bedroom country house for sale in the village of Grendon Underwood, Buckinghamshire, was once a 16th century inn named The Ship. It is believed that none other than William Shakespeare stayed at the property on several occasions.
As the famous English playwright travelled between Stratford-upon-Avon and London, it is thought he may have gained inspiration here for his play, A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Now entitled ‘Shakespeare House’, the beautiful Grade II listed detached home is part Elizabethan and part Georgian.
Arranged over three floors, there are six bathrooms, four reception rooms including a formal dining room and stunning living room, a kitchen/breakfast room, and over 4,300 sq ft of living space overall.
Beautiful period features can be seen throughout the property, such as exposed beams, decorative brickwork, high ceilings, open fireplaces and the Jacobean stairs.
Situated close to Oxford, Shakespeare House also offers great countryside views, a double garage connected to an office with bathroom and shower, and one acre of mature grounds. The gardens are bordered by post and rail fencing and hedging, and come with a lawned area, rose bushes and mature trees.
This property is available for £1,500,000 through Fine & Country via Zoopla.
