Listed Georgian Manor House. Beautifully presented and much loved family home, perfectly situated for Oxford and London.
Description
The Manor House has been refurbished and decorated to a very high standard, whilst retaining the charm and warm character of this lovely home. The main body of the house is Georgian and believed to be late 18th century with subsequent 19th and 20th century additions and alterations. Parts date from the 15th century.
The wonderful timber framed Old Hall is the oldest
part and evidence of this era is also apparent on the east side of the house where there are some beautiful original stone mullioned windows, one of which is in the drawing room.
The main Georgian front wing, along with the Old Hall wrap around a secluded open-air central courtyard. There are a number of open fireplaces throughout and some elegant Georgian floor to ceiling sash windows.
There is particularly fine cornicing in the reception hall and other interesting examples of cornicing and paneling in the drawing room, sitting room and dining room.
The room proportions are all ideal for entertaining and for very comfortable modern family living. The large, high ceilinged kitchen is at the heart of the house and opens onto the courtyard. The views to the south are far reaching and glorious.
The house sits in about 2 acres of beautiful gardens with lawns, mature trees and herbaceous borders. A parterre and outdoor dining loggia are particular features. There is also a paddock of about 3 acres located to the south.
Services: The property is connected to mains water, mains electricity and mains drainage. The heating is oil fired with some additional electric night storage heating on the top floor and in the Old Hall.
Right of way: There is a right of way, in favour of The Manor, over the old drive, west of the house with direct access onto the main road either side of the original lodge cottages.
Location
Little Milton is a much sought after South Oxfordshire village set in rolling countryside west of the Chiltern hills. The village is a thriving community with a village school, a popular pub (The Lamb) and a village shop with post office.
A wider range of services can be found in the nearby regional centres of Oxford, Thame, Wallingford and Henley-on-Thames. The Miltons and the Haseleys are a particularly desirable area just slightly south east of Oxford.
Great Milton, the village’s larger neighbour, is famed for the Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons.
Communications are excellent, the village being within striking distance of London and Oxford; junction 7 of the M40 is just a few miles to the north. The Oxford Tube bus service to London stops at Junction 6. Haddenham and Thame Parkway provides reliable, rapid and regular train services to London Marylebone. Heathrow Airport is also within easy reach.
Square Footage: 8,643 sq ft
Acreage: 5 Acres
Directions
From London, proceed on the M40 towards Oxford. Exit at Junction 7 and proceed south west on the A329. Follow the road through the village and just beyond the church turn left into Gold Street. The driveway to The Manor House is about 100 meters down the lane on the left hand side.
Additional Info
The village is particularly well located for the internationally renowned Oxford and Abingdon schools such as The Dragon, Summer Fields, Headington, Magdalen College School, Oxford High, Radley, Abingdon School, Cothill House and St Helen and St Katherine, to name but a few. There is also an excellent Church of England primary school and a pre-school in the village.
