Ochre Park

The villa

Set within 440 acres of historic parkland on the Grade II-listed Heythrop Park Estate, Ochre Park is a design-forward Cotswolds escape that brings together architectural heritage and carefully curated interiors. Sleeping eight guests across four bedrooms, this standalone house offers space, privacy and a strong sense of place, all within easy reach of the region’s most sought-after spots.

Inside, the atmosphere is calm yet characterful. Designer Sophie Stevenson’s retro-inflected aesthetic introduces sculptural lighting, soft textures and bold geometric accents, while linen-dressed bedrooms and generous bathrooms create a restful retreat after long countryside walks. The kitchen is fully equipped for serious cooks, and the dining room seats eight comfortably for celebratory suppers or long, lazy breakfasts.

Outdoors, Ochre Park comes into its own. A rooftop terrace with loungers looks across the estate, while the garden invites sociable evenings around the firepit, pizza oven and outdoor kitchen. A wood-fired hot tub and sauna hut add an indulgent touch, perfect after exploring meadow paths or strolling to the local pub.

With Soho Farmhouse, Daylesford and Blenheim Palace nearby, Ochre Park is a polished yet relaxed base for gathering, celebrating and switching off in the Oxfordshire countryside.

Ochre Park sits within the 440-acre Heythrop Park Estate in Oxfordshire, surrounded by open parkland and walking trails that begin right at the front door. This is prime Cotswolds territory, peaceful yet brilliantly placed for some of the region’s best food, members’ clubs and heritage landmarks.

A 15 - 20 minute walk brings you to a local pub for fireside lunches or relaxed suppers, while the market towns of Charlbury and Chipping Norton are a short drive away. Great Tew is ideal for morning pastries and picnic supplies, and Daylesford Farm offers organic produce and a beautifully curated farm shop.

For those in the know, Soho Farmhouse is just 2.5 miles away across meadow paths, while Estelle Manor’s spa and Roman-inspired pools are within a 15-minute drive. Blenheim Palace, with its sweeping parkland and grand architecture, makes an excellent day out, and Bicester Village is reachable in around 30 minutes for designer shopping.

From London, Ochre Park is easily accessible, making it an effortless countryside escape for long weekends or celebratory gatherings.
