Manor Farmhouse, BloxhamAbout this home

Manor Farmhouse is a handsome Grade II listed former farmhouse nestled in the Conservation Area of the popular Oxfordshire village of Bloxham. Believed to date back to the 15th century, it is built in local Hornton ironstone and is quietly positioned to give space and privacy. It offers a natural blend of historic charm alongside modern contemporary design. This characterful family home has rooms that are all beautifully proportioned with stunning high ceilings that mostly overlook the attractive gardens which surround it.
The house is flooded with natural light and has been restored sympathetically, retaining many architectural period features such as flagstone floors and original fireplaces alongside a stunning Gothic arched front
door whilst also introducing an instinctive fusion of modern style and design both internally and externally.

The landscaped walled gardens wrap around the house and are framed by some magnificent mature pleached trees. They have been very well designed to provide wonderful colour and privacy with level laid lawn and numerous flowering borders. There is a children’s play area and tree house and the garden to the west of the house has a vine covered terrace and heated outdoor swimming pool, ideal for families and entertaining.
