Hughenden Manor

The first position on the list of the most beautiful historical sites in Buckinghamshire is the Hughenden Manor. The Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli, 1st Earl of Beaconsfield, used Hughenden Manor, a Victorian mansion with older antecedents, as his country residence. Hughenden is located in the Buckinghamshire town of Hughenden. It is presently publicly accessible and owned by the National Trust. It is located on the western crest of the hill, close to the important A4128 route that connects Hughenden and High Wycombe. The Disraelis hired architect Edward Buckton Lamb to rebuild the home in 1862. Lamb created a hybrid baronial style of Gothic architecture that featured exposed and angularly juxtaposed brickwork, stepped battlements, and diagonal pinnacles. The thirteen bayed garden facade's highest windows were given unique pediments that almost looked like machicolations.

There are three stories in the house. All of the ground-floor reception areas have huge plate-glass windows that open to a terrace with views of a grassy parterre and the Hughenden Valley, a Victorian invention. Long after Disraeli's passing, while the home was owned by his nephew, the politician Coningsby Disraeli, the west wing was constructed.

There are almost 1,500 acres in the park and woods. The formal garden, which was Lady Beaconsfield's creation, has been brought back to its Disraeli-era splendor. Florentine vases are used to embellish the house's long terrace in the back. In honor of her father-in-law, Mary Anne created a monument in the area in 1862 that could be seen from the house.
