Features and description
• Historic Grade II* listed Jacobean manor house with Grade II listed gardens
• Substantial portfolio of ancillary houses, cottages and student accommodation
• Currently in educational use but with potential for change of use subject to consents
• Circa 35,000 sq.ft of accommodation
• In all 29.50 acres (11.90 hectares)
The origins of Yarnton Manor go back to Norman times with a well-documented and colourful history of ownership. Currently a manor house campus, offering an unrivalled range of education and accommodation facilities with 3,284 sq m (35,376 sq ft) of accommodation standing in 11.9 hectares (29.5 acres), Yarnton Manor will have appeal to a number of different end users including those from the education sector, private residential buyers and other commercial operators/investors (subject to the necessary consents).
As one would expect of a Grade II* listing, the house retains many distinctive period features internally and externally. The magnificent architectural detailing including shaped gables with obelisk finials, carved crest, fluted pilasters and large mullioned windows. Internally these details include fabulous 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.
In addition to The Manor there are a number of detached cottages and a Grade II listed former vicarage in the grounds as well as extensive student accommodation. Lying to the south of Yarnton Manor is a courtyard of traditional stone barns recently converted to provide apartment-style cottages. There is a further building currently used as an office annexe.
The gardens at Yarnton Manor are particularly fine and are listed in their own right and include elegant walled gardens, terraces and walkways. There is an orchard and to the rear of the gardens are paddocks and woodland extending to about 26 acres (10.5 ha).
