Summary

Little Horwood Manor to which The Stables is an ancillary building was commissioned in 1938 by George Gee as a hunting box in the surrounding Whaddon Chase countryside. Mr Gee was challenged in the hunting field by a member of the Rothschild family to build the house in under a year. This he achieved. The House, a faithful copy of the "Lutyens" style with distinctive characteristics, was listed as Grade II in 2008.
Reflecting back to the second world war, The Manor, was requisitioned by the Admiralty and has a historical connection to Bletchley Park and Churchills "Toy Shop" at Whitchurch.
The Manor and Stables are approached by a long tree lined private drive through communal landscaped gardens.
