Historic family home with annexe, garden and easy access to Blenheim and Oxford.
Grade II listed stone family house with substantial period features
Discreetly set behind wrought-iron railings, The Glove House is a Grade II listed stone family home in the heart of Woodstock. Spread over three storeys with around 2,404 sq ft, the house offers flexible living with five to six bedrooms, three to four reception rooms and a superb south-facing open-plan kitchen/dining room that fills the interior with natural light. Original features — flagstone floors, exposed timbers, shutters and panelling — give the house enduring character and a warm, lived-in atmosphere.
The property includes a detached one-bedroom annexe, a useful guest suite or home-office with independent access, and an average-sized garden providing a sheltered outdoor space for children and pets. Location is a major draw: pedestrian access to the Blenheim Palace Estate, strong local schools (including an Outstanding primary), easy bus links to Oxford Parkway and around 10 minutes’ drive to Soho Farmhouse make this a convenient family base with countryside character.
Buyers should note its listed status will restrict alterations and could complicate refurbishment or extensions; any work will require listed-building consent. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The house is presented as a period home in good decorative order, but prospective purchasers should allow for the extra time, cost and specialist trades often needed for historic properties.
Ideal for families seeking a centrally positioned Woodstock home with historic charm and annexe flexibility, this property suits buyers who value character and location and understand the responsibilities of owning a listed building. For those wanting a modern blank canvas or large-scale remodelling, this will be less suitable without planning and listed-consent considerations.
