Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Nestled away in rural Oxfordshire, you'll find this modern manor home that's sure to make any family get-together an unforgettable one. Everything feels super-sized here, from the generous bedrooms and sleek white kitchen complete with an island to the two separate living rooms. The design is rustic-inspired without feeling dated in any way, especially the bold print wallpaper and natural-themed artwork. Out through the glass doors, there's a large lawn, alfresco seating and even a hot tub, so you can truly soak up the tranquillity of these parts. There are two National Trust sites that can be reached in under ten minutes' drive, while the Warburg Nature Reserve takes sixteen minutes in the car. For a change of pace at any time, the town of Henley-on-Thames is fourteen minutes' drive away, where you'll find independent shops and riverside pubs.
