Oxfordshire Retreat

If you’re after a countryside escape with plenty to do, this farmhouse in Merton is ideal. The garden has sweeping views, and there’s lots to keep everyone entertained – from a cinema room, study, gym and sauna, to an outdoor kitchen complete with a bar, beer tap, and pizza oven. Or why not soak in the hot tub while the kids use the trampoline, then end the night by the firepit? A separate annexe with two en-suite bedrooms and its own lounge adds extra privacy. Merton Lake is nearby for scenic walks, and while you’ll need a car to get around, it’s worth it for everything this home has to offer.

Home truths:
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There’s free parking for up to three cars on the driveway.
*This home is made up of four bedrooms, plus a ground-floor annexe with two en-suite bedrooms and its own living room and kitchen.
*One well-behaved pet is welcome to accompany you during your stay, but must stay on the ground floor.
*This is a lived-in home – expect some signs of general wear and tear.
*While not all bedrooms and bathrooms are photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
