The house occupies a delightfully secluded setting in the Conservation Area of Old Marston and is approached over a private drive with double wooden gates. The property sits in its own mature gardens and grounds of 0.84 acres and dates from the mid-fifteenth century.

It has considerable period detail throughout, with exposed timbers, beams, and open fireplaces. The front door opens onto a wide hallway, giving access to the main reception rooms. The spacious sitting and drawing rooms provide plenty of family and private space. These are complemented by the kitchen and adjacent dining room, which provide space for entertaining while giving an air of tranquillity. From the kitchen, a door leads directly onto the extensive rear garden, whilst the utility room gives side access to the drive, barns and garage.

The first floor has four double bedrooms, a bathroom, and a separate shower room. The gardens are well-screened from other properties, and there are several mature trees, including a fine Himalayan Magnolia, together with Yew and Ash trees. The garden is principally laid to lawn and is enclosed on all sides by the stone walls and fencing. At the side rear of the house is an open-fronted five-bay barn providing parking, a garage and a log store to one side. It may be possible to convert these to a dwelling subject to planning permission (granted in the past). From circa 1520 until the latter half of the last century, Brasenose College owned Court Place.


Old Marston is an attractive village within the Oxford ring road which retains much of its rural character. St. Nicholas Primary School, the church of St. Nicholas, which dates in large part from the 13th Century, a playgroup and two pubs, including the Victoria Arms, are all within the village. The river meadows running down to the river and the Victoria Arms belong to the Oxford Preservation Trust, and there are many delightful walks.

The shopping and restaurant amenities of Summertown and the city centre are nearby, readily accessible by bus, cycle paths and footpaths. Within the city, there is a wide range of excellent state and independent schools for all ages, and the house is within the catchment of Cherwell School and convenient for the Swan School, Headington School, Rye St Anthony, Oxford High School, St Edward's, Dragon and Magdalen College School. Oxford sporting and leisure amenities include Nuffield Health Club and a selection of golf and tennis clubs.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    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

    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
