The AreaBritwell Salome

Home Farm enjoys a quintessential setting in the heart of Britwell Salome, a particularly charming and sought-after village at the foot of the Chiltern Hills, within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has a strong sense of community, centred around its historic 12th-century church, the well-regarded Red Lion public house and restaurant, and a delightful farm shop offering local produce. The nearby market town of Watlington, just 1.7 miles distant, provides an excellent range of day-to-day amenities, including independent shops, cafés and leisure facilities. The surrounding countryside is of exceptional beauty, with Watlington Hill, the Stonor Valley and the Hambleden Valley all offering outstanding opportunities for walking and riding. Educational provision is well catered for, with Icknield Community College in Watlington and Lord Williams’s School in Thame, both offering sixth form education. A wide selection of highly regarded independent schools can be found in Oxford, Abingdon, Henley-on-Thames and High Wycombe, with convenient school transport available nearby. A number of picturesque villages, including Ewelme, Brightwell Baldwin, Christmas Common and Hambleden, are within easy reach, each offering excellent inns and rural charm. More extensive amenities are available in Wallingford and Henley-on-Thames, with Oxford, Abingdon, Marlow and Thame all within a comfortable drive. Communications are excellent, with London easily accessible via the M40 (J6), the Oxford Tube coach service, and mainline rail connections from nearby stations.

Home Farm, Britwell SalomeAbout this home

Home Farm presents an exceptional and rare offering: a beautifully curated collection of historic buildings, thoughtfully restored and arranged around an enchanting central courtyard. Steeped in history, with origins dating back to the 16th century, the Grade II listed farmhouse and its accompanying barns have been sensitively enhanced to combine timeless character with refined modern living. Occupying a private and idyllic position on the edge of Britwell Salome, within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the setting is both private and highly accessible, with the M40 close at hand and excellent connections to London and Heathrow. The surrounding Chiltern Hills offer superb walking and riding country. At the heart of the courtyard, the principal barn has been meticulously converted to provide a striking open-plan space, complemented by a mezzanine level and finished with exceptional attention to detail, including oak flooring, underfloor heating, and bespoke Iroko joinery. The additional buildings including a stylish home office, a charming coach house, and the impressive Big Barn offer remarkable versatility for ancillary accommodation, creative pursuits, or entertaining on a grand scale. The gardens and courtyard, designed with great sensitivity, provide a series of beautifully composed spaces, rich in seasonal colour and texture, extending to approximately 0.46 acres. A delightful gazebo enjoys far-reaching views across open countryside. Altogether, Home Farm offers a seamless blend of heritage, craftsmanship, and contemporary comfort. Home Farm is a discreet yet highly adaptable country property of considerable distinction.
