This Grade II-listed vicarage has six bedrooms and 2.4 acres — but it's the grace and charm of the place rather than the space and facilities which will win you over.
Georgian architecture, Cotswold Stone, huge sash windows, an Aga in the kitchen and a slate roof... this is the sort of place we've all dreamed of.

Chipping Norton — £4.25 million
We don't often use a garden image ahead of a picture of the actual house. For obvious reasons, we make no apology for doing so in the case of Finstock, near Chipping Norton.
The grounds are dreamy, but the rest of the property is also picture-perfect — and huge. Eight bedrooms, swimming pool with pool house, a summer house, granary (with lapsed planning permission to convert) and much more.
For sale with Strutt & Parker. See more pictures and details for this property.

'It takes quite a lot to make me stop and say wow,' writes James Fisher in his piece on Middleton Park in Oxfordshire, 'but every once in a while there is a home that achieves the feat.'
27 bedrooms, architecture by Edwin Lutyens and its own cricket pitch — yes, really — make this one of the finest properties we've seen in 2025 so far... and as you might have guessed, also one of the most expensive.
