Summary - THE OLD MANOR HOUSE POFFLEY END HAILEY WITNEY OX29 9UW
Grade II* listed late 15th-century manor with exceptional original timberwork
The Old Manor House is a rare Grade II* Cotswold manor, sensitively renovated to retain exceptional period character while offering modern comfort. Dating from the late 15th century, the house preserves original timberwork, flagstone floors, inglenook fireplaces and an early medieval hexafoil, yet benefits from a new kitchen, rewiring, new boiler, upgraded bathrooms and integrated security. The setting in Poffley End places it within easy reach of Witney, Charlbury and Oxford, with local schools, country clubs and notable lifestyle destinations nearby.
The layout provides flexible family accommodation across about 5,920 sq ft: principal suite with dressing room and en suite, six further bedrooms, multiple reception rooms and a separately refurbished 1–2 bed cottage. Grounds of circa 0.75 acres include a productive vegetable garden and orchard, a detached thatched studio/office, and a three-bay garage—offering practical space for cars, home working and hobbies. Clearview wood burners in principal rooms and carefully restored historic fabric give the home strong character and year-round warmth.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: the house’s Grade II* listed status demands specialist maintenance and consent for future alterations, which can limit quick modernisation or large-scale change. Council tax is described as quite expensive. While the current owners have completed substantial upgrades (redecoration, full rewiring, new boiler, new kitchen and bathrooms), the age and scale of the property will require ongoing conservation-sensitive upkeep. For buyers seeking an established country family home with provenance, scale and ancillary income potential, this offers an exceptional balance of history and modern convenience.
