It is rare to find a house in such a private setting with a volume of space and also the ability to create further bedroom accommodation (planning consent achieved) if needed.
The house sits in grounds of approximatley 0.84 acres with a mature south-facing garden and an old grass tennis court. The gravelled courtyard leads to workshops, a former cart barn, a stone period barn (the old granary) and various other outbuildings.
The house has extensive views over open farmland with walks from your doorstep through beautiful Oxfordshire countryside down to the villages of Thrupp and Shipton via the ruins of Hampton Gay Manor.
Hampton Gay is a small hamlet about 6 miles to the North of the city of Oxford, surrounded by open countryside and farmland. This historical
hamlet contains a few houses, including Manor Farm. Within minutes are the villages of Hampton Poyle (with its excellent public house, The Bell)
and Bletchingdon, where there is a primary school and local food store. The nearby villages of Islip, Weston-on-theGreen and Kirtlington all have
local facilities, and Oxford is within a short drive.
The village itself is mentioned in the Domesday Book, with the original Manor House almost completely destroyed by fire in the late 19th century. The farm has been owned by various religious orders, including the Knights Templar, and the surrounding estate has also passed through various owners, including Viscount Wenman and Wadham College.
The area is particularly sought-after due to the proximity to Oxford, Summertown and the many highly acclaimed schools, including St Edward's, Summer Fields, Oxford High School, Headington School, the Dragon, Magdalen College School, and Radley College, amongst others.
Bletchingdon 1 mile, Oxford 6 miles, Oxford Parkway 4.7 miles (services to London Paddington and Marylebone from 66 minutes), Bicester Village 9 miles, Estelle Manor 10.6 miles, Soho Farmhouse 8.5 miles Central London 65 miles.

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
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
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
