The main part of the property is believed to date back to c. 1690 when it was a hunting lodge for The Earl of Abingdon. The property then passed to the Oxfordshire Diocese in the early 1700’s and an additional wing was added c. 1760, it is believed that it was around this time it became The Rectory.

The property is presented to an excellent standard and retains many period features.

The properties principle entrance is approached through a wrought iron gate in the wall. The entrance hall provides access to the cellar, drawing room and dining room as well as one of the two staircases leading to the first floor.
