A farmhouse on the Kiddington Estate, which was launched in Country Life last September, has come to the market with Butler Sherborn. Kiddington lies to the north of Woodstock and is made up of a number of stone farmhouses and cottages, belonging to the estate some dating back to 1844. Surrounded by superb countryside and spectacular landscape, neighbouring estates include Blenheim Palace, Glympton and Ditchley Park. While the main house and several hundred acres were reported to have been bought recently by Jemima Goldsmith, the vast majority of acreage was sold to a separate buyer.
Gate Farmhouse is a substantial farmhouse, constructed of stone under a slate tile roof. The property has retained many charming period features throughout including exposed beams, flag stone floors and a large bay window in the principal reception room. It has 4 bedrooms, 2 attic rooms, outbuildings and a stable. It sits in a little over 5 acres.
