This historic, exquisitely styled grade II manor house, blends modern luxury with traditional charm. Part of Newbottle Estate, the house offers complete seclusion, breathtaking views, and magical gardens. It stands out as a perfect location for family getaways or special events. It is ideally based for exploring the Cotswolds and Oxford, Silverstone and Bicester Village. With 9 bedrooms in the main house and a separate annex in the courtyard with a king-size bedroom, shower, and large sitting area, this property can accommodate 18 to 22 guests.
The house boasts a stunning dining hall which can seat between 8-22 guests, complete with huge stone fireplace and recently discovered original stone archway. There is also space to add round tables to accommodate up to 36 for dinner. Off the dining hall is the peaceful, light-filled library, which has a gorgeous marble open fireplace, a hidden TV, and a drinks cupboard. The owners’ love of art deco and the infamous Annabel’s interiors served as inspiration for the drawing room, which opens onto the front lawn and is ideal for evening cocktails. The drawing room, dining hall, and library all flow together to provide a seamless entertainment space. There is a lovely, panelled study with a sofa and an open fire, ideal for working, or use it as a treatment room and indulge in a spa treatment from a local therapist.
The kitchen is well equipped for both families and professional chefs, with a 5-door electric AGA, two steam combination ovens, two induction hobs, a Teppanyaki pan, drinks fridge, two dishwashers, an ice maker, a glass washer, and a quooker cube tap that provides boiling, filtered, and sparkling water! A spacious table seats up to ten people, and French windows open onto the back lawn terrace and courtyard. The scullery leads into the Victorian walled kitchen gardens.
The estate’s award-winning local butcher and delicatessen, Smith & Cay, offers free delivery. The excellent beef wellingtons, picnic hampers with legendary sausage rolls, and wonderful prepared salads can all be in the fridge on arrival.
