Gilbournes Farm is a most attractive and substantial Grade II listed farmhouse on the outskirts of the charming village of Sutton Courtenay, a most sought-after village and postcode close to the River Thames. The house sits in a very private setting of circa 3.5 acres with beautiful gardens, a small lake, and a 5-acre meadow/paddock. The house is believed to date back to the 16th century, with later changes made in the mid-17th and mid-18th centuries. The house offers impressive and flexible accommodation, taking advantage of the wonderful setting, and has additional staff or guest accommodation in one of the outbuildings, along with an impressive and very useful two bedroom guest cottage.

The gardens are a delight at Gilbournes Farm, wrapping around the house and including a meadow, formal lawns, an orchard, a kitchen garden, woodland walks and a large, beautifully constructed summer house/guest lodge overlooking the lake. Beyond the gardens lies a very useful 5-acre meadow/field. Also within the grounds is a hard tennis court, an indoor swimming pool, and a range of further outbuildings and storage.


Whilst within each reach of Didcot Railway Station, the house occupies a quiet and rural setting with local amenities available in nearby Sutton Courtenay, which has a shop, 3 public houses, including 'The Fish' that has very good French style menus, two garages, a florist and a primary school with a good reputation. Nearby, Didcot offers the more comprehensive facilities you would expect from a larger market town, including an
excellent and highly regarded rail service to London Paddington in circa 38 minutes. The area is particularly sought-after due to its proximity to Oxford and easy commute into London. Schools of note nearby include Radley College, Abingdon, Cothill, Oxford High, and Headington.
