Finstock Manor is an elegant Grade II* listed country house set in an elevated edge of village position with lovely views over Cornbury Park towards Charlbury.
The house and outbuildings are constructed of Cotswold stone under stone roofs. The principal elevations of the house have three gables surmounted by globe finials. There is a date stone inscribed IM 1660 and the house retains many
features synonymous with the period, including the 17th century staircase. Pevsner’s Buildings of England series describes the house as essentially Elizabethan with mullioned windows but believes the rusticated quoins and oval attic windows acknowledge the coming of the classical style. The house has magnificent principal rooms of generous proportions, with high ceilings and blends historic charm with modern comfort. The layout of the rooms can be seen on the floor plan. There is gas fired central heating and many of the windows are double glazed.
The house is approached via an electric gate and a gravel drive. The formal gardens are a feature: a series of ‘rooms’ comprising areas of lawn, herbaceous borders and a large outdoor heated swimming pool. Beyond this there are paddocks. The grounds have a westerly aspect.
Outbuildings: Large barn/treble garage with up and over doors, double height internally.
Summerhouse & Garage, former cart shed, thatched (in need of repair) open sided to the walled west facing garden. (Grade II Listed)
Pool House, with a shower room and changing room opening to the pool (Grade II Listed)
The Granary, currently semi derelict but with recently lapsed planning consent to convert into a three bedroom cottage. Further details are available:
Two stables, tack room, feed room. Log and bin store.
Finstock, between Witney and Charlbury, has a rich history dating back to at least 1135 with landmarks including the Gothic Revival-style Holy Trinity Church, where T.S. Eliot was baptised. The village is surrounded by the rolling north/west Oxfordshire countryside, is within the Cotswolds AONB and close to the ancient Wychwood Forest and Cornbury Park, lovely for walking. Nearby Charlbury has a good selection of shops, a modern and well-respected primary school, library and clubs and societies to suit most needs. The town has become well-known for two of its pubs, The Bull and The Bell, a lovely walk through Cornbury Park. The area is awash with good pubs and the other local towns of Chipping Norton, Witney, Burford and Woodstock provide a comprehensive range of amenities. Finstock also benefits from close proximity to luxury retreats, Estelle Manor and Soho Farmhouse. Daylesford Organics and The Banford Club are also nearby. Cornbury Park hosts the Wilderness Festival annually at the end of July. The village is well connected, with Charlbury Station just a short drive away, providing direct train services to London Paddington in just over an hour. The Oxford schools are accessible and include the Dragon, Summerfields, The High School, St Edward's, Headington and Magdalen College School to name but a few. Radley, Tudor Hall, Bloxham, Cokethorpe and Kitebrook are also nearby. There are excellent state secondary schools in Chipping Norton and Burford.
