Description

SITUATION:

Copcourt Manor lies at the base of the Chiltern Hills between Oxford and Thame. The nearby market town of Thame, the riverside town of Henley-on-Thames and the city of Oxford provide an excellent range of amenities, including a comprehensive selection of shops, supermarkets, restaurants and schools.

There is an excellent train service from Haddenham and Thame Parkway to London Marylebone (taking 36 minutes), and junctions 6 and 7 of the M40 provide excellent road access to London Heathrow and Birmingham airports. A 24-hour Oxford Tube bus service to central London runs from Lewknor Turn, approximately a 7-minute drive from the property.

Schools in the area include Stowe, Wycombe Abbey, Winchester House, Lord William’s School in Thame, Aylesbury Grammar School, Ashfold and Swanborne preparatory schools. In addition, the university city of Oxford, approximately 17 miles away, is well known for its superb educational facilities and a wide choice of independent schools. These include the Dragon, Summer Fields, Headington High School, St Edward’s and Magdalen College, amongst many others.

DESCRIPTION:

Copcourt Manor is a historic Grade II listed manor house set in a beautiful, landscaped garden with mature trees, formal lawns, and a charming moat. A tree-lined driveway leads to the house, crossing a bridge to a gravelled parking area. Whilst Queen Anne in appearance, the Manor is Georgian in origin; incorporating earlier parts to the rear probably dating to the 17th Century

The reception rooms and bedrooms are arranged around a large hallway and landing, with the main reception rooms well-proportioned. The Oak Room is of note, featuring an impressive fireplace and panelling from 1756. The manor also includes a self-contained one-bedroom flat.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS:

The garden and grounds span about 4.95 acres and feature both formal and informal lawns adorned with mature trees like chestnut, field maple, sycamore, Scots pine, and yew. The moat has bridges leading to informal gardens, including a cherry and apple orchard. There is an outbuilding to the side of the house currently used as a gym (with a separate boiler room). South of the house is a traditional yard with charming period buildings, including garaging, stables with storage above, and a Grade II listed dovecote. In addition, there is a hard tennis court located beside the driveway, as well as a manège.
