Description
ABOUT THIS HOUSE
Manor Farm is a wonderful Grade II listed six-bedroom country home, one of only a handful of private residences in the idyllic hamlet of Thenford, a peaceful pocket of West Northamptonshire/Oxfordshire surrounded by an enchanting arboretum and all owned by a private estate.
Set at the end of a quiet no-through lane, the house enjoys complete tranquillity and breathtaking countryside views. Inside, it’s a masterclass in balancing heritage and comfort. Carefully restored, this welcoming home retains elegant period details; flagstone floors, original fireplaces, and exposed beams, while embracing light-filled spaces and the ease of modern living. Almost every room is generously proportioned and perfectly positioned to overlook the gardens.
The house is wrapped in beautifully designed grounds, thoughtfully planted with flowering borders and laid lawn, framed by majestic mature trees. Every season brings new colour and texture, a changing backdrop to daily life. A recently installed heated saltwater pool offers summer indulgence, while the separate two-bedroom annexe provides more flexibility, ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or working from home.
Manor Farm is a house to gather in, to retreat to, and to make memories within, a truly special home in a setting few even know exists.
ABOUT THIS AREA
Thenford is a hidden gem, tucked between Banbury and Brackley, yet far removed from the rush of modern life. Just 4 miles east of Banbury and 7.5 miles northwest of Brackley, it sits quietly in a conservation area of remarkable beauty, surrounded by open countryside that rolls on for miles. This is traditional village living at its most idyllic, a place where church bells still chime from the beautiful parish church and the seasons unfold in full splendour across the renowned Thenford Gardens and Arboretum, open to visitors at select times of year.
Nearby Middleton Cheney offers every day essentials, a pharmacy, post office, two welcoming pubs, and a mix of independent shops. It’s a vibrant community with both primary and secondary schools, a village hall, and regular events.
For broader needs, Banbury, Oxford, and Milton Keynes are easily accessible. The M40 is just four miles away, and mainline trains from Banbury reach London Marylebone in under an
hour, while Milton Keynes offers a 32-minute service to Euston.
The area boasts a strong educational offering, with nearby preparatory schools like Winchester House and Beachborough, and highly regarded independents such as Stowe, Bloxham,
Tudor Hall, Rugby, Radley, and St Edward’s.
Leisure opportunities are abundant, from golf at Cherwell Edge and Tadmarton to motor racing at Silverstone and Stratford. For more luxurious escapes, Soho Farmhouse and RH at Aynho
are within easy reach.
Thenford offers a rare blend of peaceful
seclusion and excellent connectivity, a true haven in the heart of the English countryside.
