Faringdon, SN7

An Elegant Country Residence in an Idyllic Setting

Set in approximately 7.5 acres of beautiful grounds in the peaceful hamlet of Thrupp, this exceptional Grade II listed country home is a rare blend of historical charm and refined contemporary living. Offering over 8,000 sq. ft of living space across a beautifully restored 17th-century main house and three additional dwellings, the property is an elegant and expansive private residence in the heart of Oxfordshire.

Originally a 17th Century Farmhouse with 19th-century additions, the house has been transformed by the current owners through an extensive restoration and extension project. Using reclaimed stone from derelict cottages on the site, the extension was built to blend seamlessly with the original building, uniting timeless craftsmanship with architectural vision. The result is a house of substance, thoughtfully expanded and restored with integrity and attention to every detail.

The main house is the centrepiece, offering over 5,300 sq. ft of carefully considered living space. Combining exposed beams, flagstones, restored fireplaces and large light-filled windows, the interiors are rich in character yet fully suited to modern family life. There are five generous reception rooms, including a striking open-plan kitchen and family room with bespoke fittings, utility and boot rooms, and a separate office. Upstairs are five bedrooms and luxurious bathrooms, including a serene principal suite with sweeping views over the gardens and land. The home flows effortlessly, balancing beauty with functionality.

Surrounding the main house are three separate dwellings that together elevate the property’s scale, versatility, and lifestyle appeal. The Pool House is a stunning detached stone building of approximately 1,800 sq. ft, beautifully designed to complement the surrounding pool and garden. Inside, you’ll find a gym, a generous reception hall, open-plan kitchen/living area, two double bedrooms, and a bathroom. Outside, two covered dining terraces and double changing rooms offer the perfect setting for summer entertaining beside the pool.

To the east is The Mission, a converted 1901 chapel with its own independent gated driveway and gardens, offering 960 sq. ft of charming accommodation across two bedrooms, with planning permission already granted for a garage and double-storey extension. This space offers future potential as further guest accommodation, a holiday let or studio. Additionally, a smartly designed one-bedroom annexe adjoins the main house, offering flexible space for guests, staff or multigenerational living.

The grounds have been just as carefully planned and nurtured as the buildings. A sweeping private drive leads past your own field towards the house, which sits gracefully in the centre of the plot. To the rear, the gardens are cleverly zoned, from formal lawns and sun terraces to the tennis court, swimming pool, and a well-tended vegetable garden. Mature planting, stone walls and elegant landscaping combine to create a series of tranquil, private outdoor rooms, with uninterrupted views of the garden and stretching to The Folly beyond.

Bridge Farm enjoys a peaceful rural setting while offering superb access to key transport links, including the A420, M40, and rail services from Didcot Parkway, making Oxford, Swindon, and London easily reachable. The nearby market towns of Faringdon and Burford provide everyday essentials and local charm, with Faringdon offering weekly markets, supermarkets, and a renowned butcher. The pretty village of Clanfield is close by, home to a post office, primary school, church, bakery, and popular dining spots including The Double Red Duke and The Masons Arms. Excellent state and independent schools are also within easy reach, enhancing its appeal as a well-connected family location.

This is a home of rare character and scale, offering privacy, beauty, and exceptional flexibility, a truly complete family residence designed for modern country living.
