A foundation for balanced living

Located in Henton, Oxfordshire, ‘Manor Farm’ is a development of eight bespoke homes nestled within a picturesque landscape in the foothills of the Chiltern Hills. The architecture has been inspired by the abundant farming heritage of the site and surrounding area. Sympathetically combining heritage details with contemporary finishes, the vision for Manor Farm was to create homes that perfectly accommodate modern living while embodying the rural landscape in which they sit.

Manor Farm offers a lifestyle where families can thrive, health and wellness are emphasised, and the essence of village life is cherished.
