Grade II listed 17th-century farmhouse with strong historic character
Millwood Farmhouse is an imposing Grade II listed 17th-century farmhouse set back on a private drive, surrounded by about an acre of carefully landscaped gardens. The house offers flexible family accommodation across 7 bedrooms, three reception rooms and a generous kitchen/dining room that opens onto the garden — plus a principal bedroom suite and a large wine cellar. The adjoining period barn/former stabling and separate garage provide useful storage and workspace.
This village location is convenient for family life: Long Hanborough has good local amenities, highly regarded state and independent schools nearby, and a railway station (approx. 1.4–1.5 miles) with services to Oxford and London. The property sits on the edge of the Cotswolds and is within easy reach of Witney, Woodstock and Blenheim Palace, offering strong lifestyle appeal for families seeking space and character.
Buyers should note the Grade II listing and the house’s historic construction. Listed status means alterations will be restricted and can add complexity and cost to modernization; some elements (stone walls with assumed no insulation, period windows) and general maintenance typical of a pre-1900 farmhouse will require ongoing care. Council tax is described as quite expensive, and the house’s size and age imply above-average running and upkeep costs.
For families or buyers seeking a substantial, characterful home with scope to sympathetically update, Millwood Farmhouse delivers scale, privacy and a large garden in a desirable Oxfordshire village. Its historic features and ancillary buildings offer potential for tailored improvement, subject to listed-building consent and careful budgeting for renovation and maintenance.
