Description
A former rectory privately located close to Oxford.
Formerly occupied by Crown Prince Naruhito, currently His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Japan (as referenced in his own account of his time spent in Oxford in “The Thames and I: A memoir of two years at Oxford”).
The house lies behind a high wall with views over open countryside and takes full advantage of its setting with grand reception rooms overlooking the gardens. There is flexible bedroom accommodation on the first floor, and a large, former coach house could provide (with the necessary planning consents) further accommodation if required. The setting is completely private, with only one dwelling further on the lane. There is a terrace to the rear of the house, large, formal lawned areas, and scenic views over the neighbouring farmland.
