Approximately 17.6 acres of grounds and mature gardens
Sorbrook Manor is a substantial Edwardian country house set on about 17.6 acres at the edge of Adderbury, offering sweeping views, mature gardens and a range of historic features. Constructed in Hornton stone with sash and mullion windows, the main house extends to roughly 8,500 sq ft (total property about 11,446 sq ft including outbuildings) with generous reception rooms, high ceilings and a principal suite with dressing room. The Coach House provides an additional one‑bed flat and retained stable character.
The estate is a compelling opportunity for a family seeking space and privacy or for someone wanting to modernise a period home: the property retains many original details but now requires refurbishment and updating throughout. The large kitchen centres on an oil‑fired AGA, and several outbuildings, the pool plant room, greenhouses and pool require repair to restore full function. There is also planning potential to convert an old barn (subject to permission).
Practical considerations are clear and factual: the house needs renovation, heating is oil‑fired, and council tax is very expensive. Broadband speeds are fast, mobile signal average, and the property lies in a very low‑crime, very affluent area with excellent local schools and good road and rail connections to Oxford and London. For buyers wanting a substantial country estate with period charm and room to personalise, Sorbrook Manor offers significant scope and rare acreage close to village amenities.
