The Guard House - Building 89, Bicester Motion, Skimmingdish Lane, Bicester, OX27 8AL

Description
The Guard House was once one of the most important buildings on the estate during its time as a Royal Air Force base. Every visitor was required to report here on arrival and departure, and it also served as an air raid shelter and a centre for site security and discipline.

The building includes three smaller rooms that were once used as holding cells—ready for any trouble that might arise on the base during its RAF days. The main meeting room was formerly the Court Martial Room, while the outdoor yard served as the ‘exercise yard’.

Today, the building retains its historic significance while offering distinctive, characterful workspace. The original architectural details remain, with the elegant columned veranda creating an impressive and welcoming entrance for both staff and visitors.

The Guard House would make a striking office for a company looking to base themselves at the entrance to the UK’s leading automotive campus.
