Have you ever dreamt of living in a luxury manor house? Take a look inside Yarnton Manor and let your imagination run wild.
Set village of Yarnton just northwest of Oxford, this picture perfect property would make you your own lord (or lady) of the Manor.
For the cool price tag of just £9,000,000, Yarnton Manor is luxury with a capital L.
The history of Yarnton Manor dates back to the Norman conquest and was owned by the Spencer family for nearly two hundred years.
Currently a manor house campus, this property comes with far more than just the Grade II* listed Jacobean house and gardens. Spread over 11.9 hectares (29.5 acres) of land, Yarton Manor boasts 35,376 square foot of accommodation.
Your purchase will certainly get you bang for your buck as you will also get a substantial portfolio of cottages, a Grade II listed vicarage, extensive student accommodation and stone barns recently converted into apartment-style cottages.
As you would expect from a listed property, the house has many period features inside and out. The exterior architecture includes shaped gables with obelisk finials, carved crest, fluted pilasters and large mullioned windows.
On the inside these details include carved and moulded stone or timber fireplaces and overmantels, original flagstone floors, elaborately panelled rooms, intricate carved timber detailing and doors, plastered ceilings and a substantial Jacobean style carved timber staircase.
The gardens are Grade II listed in their own right and include elegant walled gardens, terraces and walkways.
There is also an orchard and to the rear of the gardens there are paddocks and woodland extending to about 26 acres (10.5 hectares). Perfect for a Sunday morning walk.
This property would appeal to a number of uses beyond private residency, including education and commercial operations.
