Nestled in the idyllic Harpsten Valley, this magnificent 5-bedroom (3 additional in the annex), Edwardian house is simply a must-see. Pet-friendly and well-suited to families, Sparrow House is an ideal location for those wishing to come together as a large group of family and/or friends. Thanks to its distribution, the house offers ample privacy, sleeping up to 20 guests between 3 properties. The incredible natural beauty surrounding this location make it a fantastic place to disconnect and unwind.
One particularly irresistible feature of this house to rent in Oxfordshire is its 1.5 acres of private woodlands, sweetly referred to as Dinosaur Woods. Guests are bound to fall in love with these woodlands, which are full of all sorts of wildlife, including deer and an impressive variety of birds. If you happen to be an avid bird watcher, you’ll feel right at home spying and identifying the many species of birds to be spotted in the area. Those who aren’t so interested in bird watching might enjoy a friendly game of table football, or a round of golf at the neighbouring golf course.
Moving inside, we find a most magnificent space, luxuriously decorated throughout. The sunny orangery, equipped with a large dining table, is a fantastic place for entertaining guests with a delicious meal. The snug and sitting room feature plenty of lounging space over a collection of large sofas. In each of these spaces, the log burners create a warm, toasty atmosphere, perfect for winter stays. In addition to the log burners, the underfloor heating helps to keep you cosy all year round. Sparrow House is a real treat for multi-generation family groups and gatherings with friends, offering everything you could need for a relaxing stay.

Reception rooms & kitchen:
At Sparrow House, you’ll find a collection of functional, well-equipped kitchens. The kitchen in the main house of this lovely cottage in Oxfordshire is attached to a stunning orangery with dining space for 12 guests, there is also a portable table to seat a further 8 more guests upon request at booking. The kitchen island, with two bar stools, provides further seating for an additional 2 guests. Equipped with everything you might need, the kitchen comes with everything from a wine fridge and coffee machine, to an impressive, 5-plate stove. This makes it an ideal space to cook for a large number of guests. With the dining room and kitchen being so spaciously connected, this truly is a wonderful space for entertaining. Connecting to the kitchen and dining room, we find a cosy, comfortable living room, with a couple of cosy armchairs facing the log burner. Adjacent to these is a cosy lounge area, with a plush sofa that serves as a lovely place for relaxing after a tasty meal.
The other two buildings on the property follow a similar layout, each with their own stunning, open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. Each building follows similar styling and aesthetic choices, though they maintain their individuality through slightly varied features. The kitchens and living spaces make this place particularly well suited to groups of families travelling together. There is ample space for guests to come together, as well as the option for guests to take some downtime in separate spaces in between group activities. These options work well for groups with different schedules, as those who stay up late can share space, while early risers can have a space of their own, without worrying about waking anyone up with a 5 AM chat over a cup of tea.
Bedrooms:
All of the bedrooms at Sparrow House are bright and beautifully styled with peaceful blues and whites, perfect for a good night's sleep. Between the 3 properties, there are a total of 8 bedrooms, reaching a final number of 12 beds, as well as a sleeper couch for an additional 2 guests. All of the bedrooms are equipped with clean, functional drawers, and quaint bedside tables with lamps. One of the three properties, a loft situated above the garages, hosts a lovely double bed, with a contained kitchenette and en-suite bathroom. This room would be well suited to a couple, or individuals who prefer a little more privacy.
The second, medium-sided building has a total of two bedrooms, divided into a double room, and a twin loft with two single beds. One amazing feature of the twin room are its skylights, with a little ladder for peering out at the breathtaking views surrounding the house. The double room in this building is situated on the ground floor, underneath the twin room, while the living spaces feature exposed wooden beams and a wonderfully high, open ceiling. Finally, we find the remaining 5 bedrooms in the main house, divided into 1 single room, 1 twin, and 3 double rooms. The main house, therefore, sleeps a total of 9 guests.
