This Victorian Manor Has Just Hit The Market For The First Time Ever

It might date all the way back to the 1800s, but this breathtaking period home has only just hit the market – for the first time ever. Here’s everything you need to know about Kingston House, Oxfordshire.

Kingston House: This Country Estate Is Up For Sale For The Very First Time

Set in 36 acres of land at the edge of Oxfordshire’s sprawling Kingston Estate, this country home certainly has a fascinating past: although it’s been recently renovated, it dates back as far as the 1800s (and it’s even surrounded by 450 year-old woodland).

The ten-bedroom main house is arranged over four levels, with a grand reception hall, drawing room and dining room on the ground floor. You’ll also find a large kitchen/breakfast room, a cosy sitting room and a playroom, plus an office, boot room and utility room.

Upstairs, the principal suite comprises a generous dressing room and ensuite, while three further bedroom suites, a fifth bedroom and a separate bathroom also occupy the first floor. An impressive five additional bedrooms are located on the second floor, alongside a spacious family bathroom. The house is complete with extensive attic space and a sizeable basement, too.

If ten bedrooms don’t quite cut it, the estate boasts a self-contained cottage (which can connect to the main house, if needed). This charming guest house provides a sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room and family room, with three bedrooms and a bathroom above. 

The cottage has its own garden and outbuildings, and the estate itself also contains a stable yard, tack rooms and grass paddocks. The gardens are mostly well-kept lawns, though a paved terrace wraps around two sides of Kingston House to provide the perfect spot for al fresco entertaining. If you’re on the hunt for an elegant country abode, this one’s a real showstopper.

Kingston House is available through Knight Frank at a guide price of £5.5 million. For more information, visit knightfrank.co.uk
