Oxon, OX44 9NG

ABOUT THIS HOUSE The Manor is an exceptional and architecturally intriguing house. Rich in period detail and historic character, it presents a rare opportunity to restore and enhance a house of considerable distinction, thoughtfully adapted for modern family life. Outline planning permission has been secured for an imaginative programme of improvements, including a striking Philip Johnson-inspired glazed garden room overlooking the magnificent walled gardens, a traditional oak-framed three-bay garage, the creation of an additional ensuite bedroom within the roof space and a carefully considered internal reconfiguration to improve the flow of the accommodation. Throughout, the house retains an abundance of original features, including stone mullioned leaded windows, carved stone fireplaces, Jacobean oak panelling, exposed timbers and centuries-old joinery, all contributing to its remarkable sense of history. The enchanting gardens, with their ancient brick walls, mature lime avenue, orchard, greenhouse and productive kitchen garden, provide an idyllic setting for this remarkable country house and complete a property of exceptional rarity and enduring appeal.
