EPC Rating: D To The Manor Reborn Lovingly renovated over the past two decades, the manor blends classical elegance with contemporary comfort, elevated by underfloor heating, updated roofing and a layout that flows with modern family life. An Enchanting Arrival Evoking warmth and character from the outset, the reception hall pairs solid wood flooring with sunflower-yellow walls in a bold yet timeless nod to the home’s heritage. Broad doorways and graceful proportions set the scene for the elegance that unfolds beyond. Adding a sense of drama is the roaring limestone fireplace, ensuring a warm welcome. Resplendent Receptions Whether working from home, entertaining, or simply enjoying a slower pace of life, the living spaces at Uffington Manor are designed to adapt. T he drawing room evokes a timeless elegance, where grand sash windows frame views of the marquee lawn and formal gardens, warmed by chandelier lighting and a handsome fireplace. Bathed in natural light, the sitting room, with its French doors opening onto striped lawns and a beautiful magnolia tree, is perfect for peaceful afternoons or fireside evenings. Offering a cocoon of calm is the study, with its deep green tones, tartan wallpaper and ornamental fireplace – a refined retreat for reading, catching up on correspondence and contemplating. Wine And Dine Entertain in enchanting surrounds in the dining room where austere stone mullion windows, regal red tones, panelled walls and treacle-toned beams set the scene for exquisite evenings. Celebrating space and sunlight, the kitchen, with its bespoke pantry, blends fresh, modern design with timeless charm — vaulted ceilings with pale exposed beams, warm wooden flooring and a crisp, airy palette, flowing seamlessly through into the garden room, the perfect spot for breakfast or relaxed dining, bathed in morning light with views stretching out across the terrace, gardens and pool beyond.

The Garden Cottage Recently refreshed with stylish, newly fitted kitchen and bathroom, the three-bedroom cottage offers immaculate accommodation full of charm, with separate sitting room and dining room, making it an ideal offering for guests, extended family, or even a boutique holiday let. A Garden For All Seasons A landscape in which to lose yourself, the gardens at Uffington Manor are simply spectacular. A masterclass in landscape design where formality meets freedom, every space tells its own story. Admire the vast, level lawn enclosed by high hedging and impeccably maintained walls. Known as the Marquee Garden, this private and impressively sized space could be ideal for hosting everything from weddings to charity galas, with chestnut trees and blooming borders softening the edges in a flourish of colour. Another, more relaxed lawned garden is framed by golden beech hedging, while the orchard brings seasonal interest and a fruitful harvest in the autumn. Summer days, meanwhile, are best spent beside the heated swimming pool - safely enclosed by wrought iron fencing. Your Country Garden Shaped holly trees and sculpted box hedging lend a formal feel to the striped lawns and clipped curves of the walled garden. A garden that retains warmth, symmetry and timeless English elegance, each area offers a quiet celebration of texture and tone. Meander further and the mood shifts once more: beneath mature trees in the side garden, spring bulbs form a more informal scene, which in turn opens into a securely fenced paddock. For families, there’s a magical tree house and play area tucked amongst the trees - just one of many hidden corners that invite imagination and escape. Whether it’s morning coffee on the patio terrace, a quiet moment on a bench beneath the boughs, or a garden party in full swing, this is a landscape made for living - beautifully grown, perfectly kept and endlessly inspiring.
