The Priory is a handsome Grade II listed property with a wealth of period features, built in 1833. There was a building on the site well before this and a date plaque on the eastern façade bears the date 1655. The house was re-built with some of the existing materials in the 19th century with stunning fireplaces and the fine mahogany doors into the dining room being added. The Priory is approached via a pair of wrought iron gates and a pedestrian door also giving access to the drive. The attractive façade features mullion windows, stone quoins and moulded ironstone kneelers.

From the front door, the grand reception hall with open fireplace providing access to the dining room. The drawing room and library are found off the reception hall and enjoy a southerly aspect with views towards the lake. The sitting room is well fitted with attractive cupboards and offers views over the rear gardens. The kitchen/breakfast room lies adjacent to the reception hall and is well fitted with an Aga, built-in Neff oven, hob and microwave, fully integrated fridge and granite work surfaces.

A utility room and pantry are located adjacent to the kitchen/breakfast room. The garden room has doors opening onto the rear garden with a terraced area. Both rooms overlook the eastern gardens with the avenue and obelisk. A door and stairs leading down to the cellar are found next to the garden room. A further hallway runs from a secondary front door passing the flower room near the back door.

There is an inner courtyard area between the boot room and inner hallway. From the reception hall stairs rise to the first floor with a secondary stairway to the first floor off the inner hallway. The master bedroom suite is dual aspect and of generous size. The guest bedroom offers an ensuite bathroom, and two further bedrooms, a family bathroom and study area can be found on this floor. The secondary staircase leads up to the second floor with three further bedrooms, bathroom, two stores and two attic rooms.

Above the garage and part of the main house lies a two-bedroom annexe with living area/kitchen and bathroom. The annexe benefits from independent access and views across the gardens and grounds beyond. This would be ideal for a live-in nanny, as a granny annexe or for guests.

The office is located next to the annexe, using the same staircase. It comprises two offices, a meeting room, kitchen area and cloakroom.

The double garage is attached to The Priory and there is a tank room, several stores and a WC to the rear with access onto the east lawn.

The majority of the grounds lie behind the house to the east. These comprise gardens with lawns, tree lined avenue with obelisk, a terrace, attractive lake with Greek Doric pavilion and 'Chetwode Priory Folly' – a covered entertaining area with cupboards housing a sink and fridge. The two paddocks lie beyond the gardens with a wooded area at the far boundary. In all the paddocks and gardens to the east extend to about 11 acres.


Chetwode is a delightful small hamlet on the Buckinghamshire/Oxfordshire borders. Tingewick village is 2 miles away with a local shop, two public houses and a church, while Buckingham and Bicester are within easy reach and provide an extensive range of shopping and leisure facilities. Bicester Village Outlet is within a short drive and offers a
number of luxury goods and designer clothing stores with also the popular Soho Farmhouse closeby.

Bicester North Station lies approximately 7 miles away with frequently trains to London Marylebone in roughly 55 minutes. Equally, access to the motorway network is superb with junctions of the M1 and M40 closeby. Birmingham International Airport and Oxford Airport are also within easy
reach.

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
