Broughton Barracks by Birch Stays

Step through the doors to discover a seamless blend of period architecture and contemporary luxury. High ceilings, sweeping bay windows, and refined interiors set the tone, while the ground floor unfolds into a drawing room with fireplace, a formal dining room, and a cosy study. The modern kitchen-breakfast room (with pantry and kitchen garden access) is a hub for casual meals, while the cinema room promises movie nights in style.

Every corner of this home tells a story – from the original wood panelling in the hall to the carefully curated artwork adorning the walls. The property’s layout effortlessly balances grandeur with intimacy, offering spaces for lively gatherings and quiet retreats alike. Large sash windows flood the rooms with natural light, while underfloor heating and modern amenities ensure year-round comfort.

Living Spaces
The drawing room is a masterpiece of comfort, with plush seating, garden views, and an air of understated grandeur. Sink into the deep sofas by the crackling fireplace, or gather for board games at the antique oak table. For quieter moments, the sitting room offers a relaxed escape with its well-stocked library and views over the rose garden, while the dining room with its large table and refined décor sets the stage for memorable feasts.

The heart of the home is the kitchen-breakfast room, where an AGA oven, sleek marble countertops, and a farmhouse-style table invite leisurely mornings. French doors open onto the terrace, blurring the lines between indoors and out. Upstairs, the cinema room (with tiered seating and a 4K projector) transforms into a night time hotspot for film buffs, while the study provides a peaceful workspace with its oak desk and countryside vistas.

Leisure and Outdoor Living
The heated pool (seasonal) and pool house elevate this estate into a true retreat. By day, guests lounge on the terrace or dive into the sparkling water, while the pool house – with its fridge, changing area, and shaded seating – makes outdoor living effortless. The home gym, equipped with a Peloton bike and free weights, caters to fitness enthusiasts, while the kitchen garden (stocked with herbs, berries, and seasonal vegetables) inspires al-fresco cooking.

Evenings here are made for celebration – fire up the charcoal BBQ for a feast as the sun sets over the gardens. The sprawling lawns, dotted with fruit trees and wildflowers, offer space for croquet, picnics, or simply soaking up the peace of the Oxfordshire countryside. For children, the garden’s hidden nooks and climbing trees promise endless adventure, while adults savour the tranquillity of this private haven.

Bedrooms
Each bedroom is a serene escape, designed for rest and privacy. The principal suite impresses with a lavish double bed, garden vistas, and an en-suite bathroom, while the remaining rooms (including twins/singles) cater to families or groups with ease. Think crisp linens, elegant furnishings, and ample storage.
