Sibford Gower, Nr Banbury, Oxfordshire

A handsome Georgian home occupying an elevated position within the sought-after village of Sibford Gower, surrounded by mature gardens and enjoying countryside views.


Yew Tree House is a Grade II listed village house which has been sympathetically updated by the current owners, whilst retaining a wealth of original features throughout including fireplaces, shutters, exposed stone, window seats, oak and elm flooring and flagstone flooring. The property also benefits from having beautiful sash windows and high ceilings, typical of the period.

Gardens and grounds

A veranda runs along the rear elevation of the house, whilst a paved terrace provides an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining.

Situation
Sibford Gower is a highly sought-after edge of Cotswold-stone village on the North Oxfordshire and Warwickshire border.

Positioned between Banbury and Chipping Norton, the village offers a perfect balance of country living with easy access to mainline rail links, shopping, leisure activities and nearby attractions like Soho Farmhouse. The active community shares excellent amenities with its twin village, Sibford Ferris, including a very well-regarded Doctors’ surgery, village shop with post office, village hall and local pub The Wykham Arms.

Families are strongly drawn to the area by its exceptional educational options. Located directly within the villages are the historic Sibford Gower Endowed Primary School which features nursery provision and the co-educational independent Sibford School. The area is exceptionally well-served by private schools, including Bloxham School (a co-ed 11–18 senior school with flexible boarding), Tudor Hall School (an all-girls boarding and day senior school).
