The AreaSutton Courtenay

Sutton Courtenay is one of South Oxfordshire’s most highly regarded and sought after locations. A pretty village with a stunning green and many period and thatched properties; there is a real sense of community. This is very much a village which retains the best qualities of traditional village life. Perched on the banks of the River Thames, there are three pubs to choose from, a village shop, post office and a garage.

Commuting to London or Oxford couldn’t be easier. Courtenay Lodge is exceptionally well placed, with Didcot Parkway Station only 4.1 miles away and trains to London Paddington from 37 minutes. The village is also very well served by bus routes to all of the main private schools within the surrounding area.

The closest town is Abingdon which sits in a desirable position on the River Thames and includes a stunning market square and attractive architecture, such as the County Hall, built from Oxfordshire Limestone and believed to be designed by Sir Christopher Wren.

Bordered by the rolling Chilterns on one side and the magnificent Berkshire Downs on the other, the surrounding countryside is idyllic with inexhaustible options for lovers of the outdoors, with highlights being the River Thames and Wittenham Clumps.

Courtenay Lodge, Sutton CourtenayAbout this home

Courtenay Lodge is a beautiful Grade II Listed Queen Anne house, dating from the early 1700’s, which was extended in the 19th century. As well as modernising throughout, the current owners have made further additions including a magnificent modern kitchen and the garage with a large bedroom suite above (which could be used as a separate guest annexe). Prominently located in the conservation area of Sutton Courtenay, and only a stone’s throw from the river Thames, Courtenay Lodge sits proudly in this picturesque Oxfordshire village scene, nestled amongst a medley of other lovely period houses.

A stunning village property with incredible proportions and lovely period features.

Period features include ornate fireplaces, beautifully detailed door architraves, spectacular high ceilings and large sash windows to match.

Completely renovated and updated by the current owners, Courtenay Lodge is a perfect family home.

Beautifully landscaped gardens including an outdoor swimming pool complete with a jet stream system and a wonderful pool house.

The modern kitchen which was added by the current owners makes for a fabulous juxtaposition between the old and the new.

The kitchen has attractive views over the garden to one side and a beautifully planted courtyard on the other side.

All of the rooms are large and flooded with natural light, as is typical of this style of architecture.

Of particular note are the magnificent bay windows in the south facing drawing room and dining room, making these particularly bright and appealing rooms in which to spend time.

Sutton Courtenay is a village with plenty of interesting history and it is famous for being the resting place of author Eric Arthur Blair, better known by his pen name George Orwell.

Courtenay Lodge also has a long and interesting history, including being the main building for a boys’ school between 1905 and 1932.

A beautiful village location and close to Didcot Parkway which offers a fast commute to London.
