People often say that if they won the lottery they would love to buy dream homes for their nearest and dearest. This property in rural Oxfordshire – which is currently the most expensive on the market – would basically be your own private village.

The Golder Manor Farm estate is located in the heart of South Oxfordshire in the small village of Pyrton, near Watlington. 

The estate comes with a Grade II listed farmhouse, outbuildings and six cottages, two further cottages set away from farmhouse, a Grade II listed vicarage, planning permission for two detached houses at the rear of the vicarage, the Stoke Talmage Portfolio east of the farm with 9 cottages and The Spire & Spoke pub.

You can get all of that for a cool £25 million.

Knight Frank, which is selling the property, describes it as a “unique opportunity to acquire a mixed residential, agricultural and commercial portfolio in prime Oxfordshire countryside”.

Set on the 613.37 acre farm, Golder Manor Farmhouse is a pretty brick and flint house with five bedrooms.

Knight Frank states it benefits from “incredible views and enjoys the privacy of a rural setting with no public footpaths”.

The house is in need of modernising but provides opportunity for development, subject to planning permission and listed building consent.

There is a good range of traditional outbuildings and farm buildings, currently used to store farm machinery.

The land at Golder Manor Farm comprises approximately 571 acres of arable, 16 acres of pasture and 15 acres of woodland.

The arable is currently farmed under a Farm Business Tenancy.

Cottages

There are two cottages set away from the farmhouse which provide secondary accommodation or staff accommodation.

Vicarage

The Vicarage is also a Grade II listed village house in a peaceful rural setting with “beautiful views over the wildflower meadow and parkland beyond”.

Downstairs, the property benefits from four good sized reception rooms with a large kitchen and family room. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor with a further four bedrooms and two bathrooms on the second floor.

There is a modern double garage with an office which benefits from a terrace to the rear and a shower room.

There is planning permission to enlarge the house, including a coach house conversion and a swimming pool.

At the end of the Vicarage garden is a paddock which has planning permission for two detached houses with their own access.
