A Georgian gothic and contemporary detached house on three floors with a turret staircase, wrap around gardens, off street parking and views across surrounding woodland from the roof terrace. There is much historical research into Castle Keep but put briefly, the earliest building was Georgian, commenced in 1807 in the gothic style, more work was subsequently undertaken and the octagonal turret was added in 1818-19; the porch is late Victorian. It was probably designed as a lodge on the eastern entrance to Loakes Manor and its surrounding land an estate that had associations with the architect James Wyatt and the garden designer Capability Brown, although their impact on Castle Keep is unclear. In 1896 Wycombe Abbey School bought the estate. The property was sold by the school in 1966. The Georgian part, with its crenelated roof line, is faced with unknapped flint with Denner Hill Stone dressings and openings; the exterior windows have hood moulds and there is a recently restored string course.
