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 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. This is market town living at its finest. Oxford itself is just over 10 miles away.

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.

There is a wide and excellent choice of both state and private schools, including a Primary School within Sutton Courtenay.

Priors Court, Sutton CourtenayAbout this home

Tucked away in a private position and set in beautiful gardens sits Priors Court, a substantial and impressive, unlisted Edwardian family house.

The house has been beautifully maintained by the current owners and features a number of attractive period features, typical of this period of architecture. A substantial property totalling over 10,000 sq ft of accommodation and outbuildings, the highlights include the stunning kitchen, complete with an open fireplace and views over the magnificent landscaped gardens, as well as numerous impressive reception rooms and the simply stunning master bedroom suite with a balcony and external stairs which lead directly to the outdoor swimming pool.

There is an incredible thatched pavilion, which is currently used as a home office and comes complete with a period fireplace. This large and versatile space could be used as a party room, a gym or a studio. Additionally, there is a three bedroom gardeners cottage, with its own private garden area. The swimming pool area is an ideal place to spend a sunny afternoon, and there is also a tennis court. As well as formal gardens, there is a large kitchen garden area, with various outbuildings and green houses. There are also old stables, which are currently used as garden storage, as well as paddocks beyond the garden.

What is most striking about Priors Court is the sense that this large house, set in over 7 acres of grounds, is completely tucked away within the village, giving a sense of being in its own little world, yet part of the village at the same time.
