Exceptional Five-Bedroom Georgian Family Home in a Private Village Setting

A rare opportunity to acquire this outstanding five-bedroom Georgian residence, brought to the market for the first time in over 50 years. Ideally located in the heart of the village, the property enjoys a peaceful and private position, set behind electric gates with well-maintained walled gardens extending to approximately 0.5 acres.

This handsome red brick home exudes character, with a wealth of original period features throughout, including elegant sash windows, high ceilings, and feature fireplaces. The accommodation is both spacious and light-filled, comprising two generous reception rooms, a study, kitchen with walk-in pantry, and a separate utility room.

Upstairs, there are five well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms, making this a perfect home for modern family living while retaining its historic charm.

Outside, the gardens offer a wonderful sense of seclusion and space, with a large lawn, established planting, and the potential for a productive kitchen garden space. The gated driveway leads to a double garage with electric doors, as well as an additional workshop, providing excellent storage or hobby space.

This is a home of real substance and history — offering the rare combination of architectural elegance, family-friendly space, and a truly special setting.

Round and about

This is no sleepy village – East Hanney has loads going on all-year-round so you can dip in and out of the social whirl as you wish.

There’s an extensive range of activities at the village hall – everything from the WI, senior citizens’ group and history society to a drama club, book club and wine circle. If you’d like to exercise while you socialise, choose from Hanney tennis, cricket and bowls clubs. The monthly ‘Hanney News’ keeps residents in the loop.

The community-run shop/post office is attached to the village hall, and you can pick up fresh bread, milk and vegetables here Monday-to-Saturday.

East and West Hanney are known collectively as ‘The Hanneys’ and are separated by just one field – it’s a 20-minute walk to the local pub, The Plough in West Hanney, where the innovative food and well-kept ales really hit the spot.

For those with children, it’s a short walk to St James CE Primary School, Ofsted-rated ‘good’, and the pre-school caters for the little ones. Some of the country’s best independent schools are nearby – Abingdon School, Radley College and St Helen & St Katharine’s number among them.

La Fontana Italian restaurant is a bit of legend in the Hanneys and the local take-away, Hanney Spice, is also highly rated. Travel a little further, and you’ll find two AA rosette menus at the fabulous White Hart in Fyfield and the highly rated Greyhound at Letcombe Regis.

The nearby market towns of Wantage and Abingdon have all the enhanced shopping and leisure amenities you could desire including Waitrose, Sainsbury’s and Tesco supermarkets.

Commuting is easy – road, rail and bus services are excellent in this part of Oxfordshire. You’ve hit the jackpot! Didcot Parkway is 7 mile / 15 min drive, you can then reach London in under 40 minutes. The M4 corridor is easily accessible via the A34 as is the M40.
