Manor Farm House, nestled near Cleveley, embodies the quintessential Cotswold residence with its stunning location to match.
Manor Farm House is located in the scenic Glyme Valley of the Cleveley hamlet, an area that estate agents consider arguably the most desirable postcode in Oxfordshire.
It amuses me to think about locals debating heatedly over which Oxfordshire postcode is the best – picture a rowdy discussion in a pub escalating to a point where stern opinions on postcode superiority lead to a frenzy.
Avoiding fictitious postcode brawls, let’s focus on Manor House Farm—a five-bedroom abode with a rich Grade II listing, endowed with period features like open fireplaces, exposed wood beams, stone flooring, traditional sash windows, shutters, wooden panelling, and an impressive stone entrance—all available at a price of £2.25 million through Strutt & Parker.
The ‘family room’ section of the kitchen/breakfast/family room.
Modern updates have been skilfully integrated by the current owners, including a top-notch kitchen, oak flooring, custom shelving, and stylish bathrooms. The expansive kitchen/breakfast/family room is the centre of the house, while the barn converted into a drawing room offers a generous space for entertaining, gaming, or even setting up a home cinema.

Set in about an acre of gardens, the estate presents a lawned front bordered by beech hedges, wisteria, and a fig tree. The backyard is also mainly grassy, featuring raised vegetable beds, an orchard, and a stony area designed for outdoor gatherings. Although I’m undecided about OX7’s status as the top Oxfordshire postcode, Manor Farm House certainly brings a lot to the table.
The property includes an acre of diverse gardens, enhancing its appeal.
