A wonderful period house close to Oxford. Manor Farm is an impressive Grade II listed stone-built farmhouse located close to Oxford. It is understood that parts of the main house date back to circa 1600 and once formed part of a hunting lodge. Today the property retains many of its original features offering a wonderful family home that is sympathetically restored yet full of character. Manor Farm sits in a plot of circa 22 acres and comprises Manor Farmhouse with six bedrooms and five reception rooms, a 17th century stone barn (Bradshaws) with permission to convert to a separate five bedroom house of approximately 3650 sq ft, and various outbuildings, including a one bedroom staff flat. With suitable consents, Bradshaws could alternatively fulfil a variety of functions ancillary to the main house, such as a party barn, guest accommodation, workshop or office. There is also consent to build an approx 1,100 sq ft office to the northeast of the main house. A substantial renovated barn with five bedrooms, Noke Place, is available by separate negotiation. The gardens and grounds at Manor Farm are wonderfully cared for and provide a peaceful and attractive setting, set in circa 22 acres. There is a walled garden to the south and west of the house, mainly laid to lawn with flower beds throughout and borders to the edge, with an orchard and wild meadows adding to the bio-diversity. There is a terrace adjacent to the house, which offers private outdoor entertaining space with access to the kitchen and timber-beamed garden room. An enclosed heated swimming pool with a retractable roof and well-maintained tennis court sit at the bottom of the garden. To the eastern and northern elevation of the farmhouse is a paddock, which is post and rail fenced and part surrounded by natural hedgerows with a pond. A further 330 acres are available by separate negotiation. All the main buildings benefit from full fibre to the premises broadband offering gigabit connectivity.
