THE HOUSE
Nestled in the hamlet of Thorpe Mandeville in the Oxfordshire countryside, sits Thorpe Manor. Surrounded by the natural beauty of its 200-acre estate, the house is being sympathetically restored and renovated by skilled craftsmen led by the son of the former owner and his partner.
Thorpe Manor will open its doors and be available for exclusive hire. Secluded and charming, warm and welcoming, this grand yet informal country house offers the ideal setting for weddings, corporate events, private parties, rural retreats or simply restorative weekends away. Conveniently located just opposite the village church, Thorpe Manor can also hold ceremonies both inside the house and in the original summerhouse.
Step inside the original entrance hall ornamented with scagliola pillars, across the centuries-old limestone floors and into large open rooms with roaring fires and oak-panelled walls. Ascend the sweeping staircase to find 14 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms in which to relax and unwind, from cosy Attic rooms under the eaves to generously spacious masters – complete with free-standing double soaking baths and rainforest showers. Collapse into the magnificent beds and wake to the tranquil views of your rural surroundings.
Enjoy the entire house as if your own with its drawing room, dining room, grand kitchen, bar, games room, flower room, cinema room, small gym and conference facilities if needed. Each bedroom is equipped with modern comforts, such as Nespresso machines and Sky TV. The extensive grounds and four-tier garden include a magical courtyard, two summerhouses, croquet lawn, orchard, outdoor dining and relaxing areas, and Swedish hot tub.
And then, there are the extras... the Butler to show guests to their rooms and unpack bags, the fully stocked drinks cabinet, the film collection, the plentiful breakfasts and exceptional food. And whether it be for a fitness instructor or masseuse, no request is too great whilst you settle in and enjoy Thorpe as your home away from home. For weddings and other such events, leading trusted suppliers for marquees, tents, floristry and photography have been carefully selected.
Owners Henry Teare and Natasha Perkins say of the house: “We're incredibly proud of Thorpe Manor, its heritage and journey. Bringing the house & grounds back to life after 300-years of wear and tear has been a huge accomplishment for us. We’re so excited for the cherished memories and exceptional events to be had here.
We can also book activities onsite or externally such as Whiskey/ Gin tastings, painting classes flower arranging, guided walks, falconry, ferret racing, clay shooting, motor racing and more!
