Brandon House is a Grade II listed 16th-century home in Sandford St Martin, near Soho Farmhouse, offering refurbished interiors, extensive gardens, outbuildings, pool, cottage and flexible family accommodation in a private countryside setting.
Brandon House is set in the heart of the village of Sandford St Martin, just a short distance from Soho Farmhouse, and occupies a particularly enviable position within this highly regarded North Oxfordshire setting.
A Grade II listed family home, it is believed to date back to 16th-century origins, with sympathetic early 18th-century additions that reflect its evolution over time. More recently, the house has been carefully updated and refurbished, balancing modern comfort with the preservation of its many period features.
Inside, the main reception rooms are generously proportioned and well connected, offering an adaptable layout suited to both everyday family life and larger-scale entertaining. A sitting room and drawing room provide elegant yet comfortable spaces, each retaining the character and atmosphere expected of a house of this age.
At the heart of the home is a bespoke, handmade kitchen, complete with an Aga and central island, arranged to one side with a relaxed eating and sitting area to the far end. This flows naturally into the dining room, reinforcing the house’s sociable and lived-in feel, where informal family moments sit comfortably alongside more formal gatherings.
The bedroom accommodation is thoughtfully arranged and accessed via two separate staircases, allowing for a natural division of space. The principal suite occupies its own wing of the house and includes a spacious bedroom, dressing room, and en suite bath and shower room.
On the second floor, a useful study or family room is complemented by two further rooms, offering flexibility for work, guests, or additional living space. The secondary staircase provides access to three further bedrooms, one of which benefits from an en suite, alongside a family bathroom and separate shower room.
A further staircase leads to a guest suite with its own en suite facilities, reinforcing the home’s suitability for extended family living or hosting.
Across the courtyard, with its own independent access, sits Mildon Cottage, a two-bedroom stone cottage that provides valuable ancillary accommodation, whether for guests, extended family, or as a potential income stream.
The gardens lie to the side and rear of the house and are predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with mature planting and carefully considered landscaping. Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the outdoor space includes a heated swimming pool, a cedar hot tub, and a decked seating and entertaining area tucked privately behind the outbuildings, with the wider gardens extending beyond.
A strong sense of amenity continues through the range of outbuildings, which add significant versatility to the property. These include a triple garage with storage for up to five cars and an electronic lift system, a gymnasium, sauna and wet room, as well as additional garden stores and a greenhouse adjacent to the vegetable garden. Beyond this, the grounds extend further still to include a pond and paddock, reinforcing the scale and rural character of the setting.
Brandon House ultimately combines historic architecture with modern family functionality, set within grounds that offer privacy, flexibility and a rare sense of completeness in this sought-after Oxfordshire village location.
