Largo House is a striking former vicarage, built in 1849 in the Victorian Gothic style and believed to be the work of renowned architect George Street. Set in the heart of Uffington’s conservation area, this Grade II listed property enjoys sweeping views towards the White Horse Hill and offers a rare combination of modern comfort whilst still retaining architectural grandeur.
Constructed from local chalk stone with limestone, Largo House showcases many period features throughout including sliding sash windows, exposed floorboards, panelled doors, an oriel window, and ornate stone carvings including gargoyles, finials, and incredible castellated parapets.
The main house itself spans over three floors and offers over 4,600 sq. ft. of accommodation. A floor plan is included within the particulars but there are some rooms which cannot go unmentioned – particularly the beautifully updated kitchen/family room designed for modern living and entertaining and the triple aspect drawing room with central fireplace.
Upstairs, the first floor features three bedrooms and a study. The principal bedroom includes a walk-through dressing area and en-suite bathroom, while the study opens onto a castellated balcony with south-facing views across fields and farmland. There is also a useful separate WC. The second floor is home to three additional bedrooms and a family shower room.
In addition, a converted coach house provides flexible space for guests, a studio, or ancillary accommodation. The mature gardens wrap around the house, creating a peaceful and picturesque setting. There are multiple areas for al-fresco dining, a large lawn, well-stocked borders and some raised vegetable beds.
Uffington is a charming and historic village on the edge of the North Wessex Downs, best known for the Bronze Age Uffington White Horse carved into the hillside. The village boasts a strong community and excellent local amenities, including a shop, pub (The Fox and Hounds) and Ofsted rated “Good” CofE primary school. Esteemed schools such as St Hugh’s, Pinewood, and Cokethorpe are all within easy reach.
The surrounding countryside offers a wealth of outdoor pursuits, with access to the historic Ridgeway and a network of bridleways, footpaths, and byways. Local equestrian facilities are plentiful, and the nearby town of Faringdon offers further amenities including a Waitrose supermarket, pubs, bars and cafes. London is accessible via Didcot Parkway or Swindon train stations.
For travel further afield, the M4 is around 10 miles away and offers easy access to the M40 and M5.
