Nestled in the pretty hamlet of Barnard Gate surrounded by countryside, The Britannia is a spectacular renovation offering 2,583 sq ft of fabulous accommodation alongside a generous garden and delightful countryside views.
Around 1840 this Coaching Inn was known as The Britannia, and last traded as The Boot. How fitting that these two names are brought together today, at this incredible development, Dovetail House. This former Cotswold Country Pub has been transformed into two incredible homes, bonded together by the beautiful Cotswold Stone façade. Two homes where Stephanie and David Green, working alongside the pure genius team at Emma Kirby Design, have managed to combine the original craftsmanship with the very best of modern-day luxuries. With part exchange considered (terms apply) there may not be another opportunity quite like this to select a fine new home for you, and your family quite like The Boot or The Britannia at Dovetail House.
The quality of design and build is apparent from the moment you step foot inside the front door, it’s clear no expense has been spared with thoughtful touches such as engineered washed Oak flooring, Oak doors, a feature wall with Romanian floorboards and French doors to the principle bedroom to maximise the enjoyment of the open views.Cat7 data cabling, fire protection system, Quartz work surfaces, Neff appliances, feature glass log burner, Porcelanosa sanitary ware The house has all of the modern technology you would expect from a bespoke build like this including Cat 7 data cabling, a hardwired fire protection system, Knightsbridge electrical accessories including 5 amp light lighting sockets to the sitting room.
Tucked away in a side lane just off the A40 between Oxford City Centre to the East (12 miles) and Witney to the West (4 miles) these homes really do sit at the gateway to the Cotswolds. Jeremy Clarkson has recently opened his new Pub, The Farmers Dog (formerly The Windmill) just 8 miles further up the A40, supporting our belief that this exclusive niche of West Oxfordshire countryside is an amazing place to be!
Hanborough mainline rail station is less than 10 minutes away by car with Oxford Parkway 17 minutes and Oxford itself just under half an hour. There is a regular Stage Coach bus service from nearby Eynsham, which also hosts the eagerly anticipated Park & Ride scheduled to open in 2025. With Soho Farmhouse just 16 miles away and the newly opened Estelle Manor right on your doorstep (5 miles) these two luxurious country house hotels private members clubs are but a stone’s throw away.
Bartholomew School at Eynsham was rated “Outstanding” by OFSTED in June 2024, and with the selection of private schools around North Oxford and West Oxfordshire itself, there really is a healthy rivalry competing for every placement.
Offered on a turn key basis, these luxury properties offer something for everyone and are ready for immediate occupation.
