Old Jordans put on market
Historic property on sale for £15 million
The historic six-acre estate and property at Old Jordans in Buckinghamshire is on sale for £15 million.
The property is Grade II listed and holds a unique place in the history of the Religious Society of Friends. It is adjacent to Jordans Quaker Meeting House and graveyard, which contains the grave of William Penn, and the original farmhouse was once a secret meeting place for Quakers in the seventeenth century.
The property incorporates an eighteenth century period manor house and had been extensively modernised in recent years.
It was converted to open plan accommodation, with ten bedrooms and six reception rooms, and is described as ‘an estate property whose buildings and gardens boast the typically unconstrained layout of a country house whilst being architecturally aligned with the modern London town house’.
Old Jordans was sold in 2006 to an investment company for a price of £1.85 million. (See report in the Friend, December 2006.)
The historic ‘Mayflower Barn’ in the grounds of Old Jordans is believed to contain timbers taken from the Mayflower.
The property is being sold by Knight Frank Properties.
