Local information
This is a fascinating and historic timber framed house of varying periods which has been painstakingly restored over many years by the vendor. With some incredible features – jettied storey, linenfold panelling, wall paintings, Inglenook fireplace, exposed timbers including an Ogee arch, mullion windows, ledged and braced doors the property started life as a Hall House. Formerly the Rectory, it was owned (and leased) by Merton College Oxford and we understand that a map of 1602 in the college’s possession shows extensive ranges of farm buildings round a courtyard of which the existing house remains.
