Oxon Hoath sits on 74 acres of idyllic parkland and greenery and is part of medieval history.

The Grade II Gregorian mansion boasts French Chateau decor dating back to the 14th century.

The fabulous country home served as a private retreat for its rich owners for centuries.

But in recent decades it was turned into an exclusive venue for conferences and lavish celebrations and events.

House-hunters can snap up the mansion for a staggering £8million.

With a jaw-dropping number of 28 rooms, all the main areas of the house include mostly south-facing principal reception rooms.

Lucky home owners will be able to stay in a special room dedicated to the popular French royal Marie Antoinette.

The listing continued: “The Drawing Room, which has a late 18th century carved fireplace with a pink marble surround which is an outstanding feature of this room depicting Marie Antoinette rustic shepherd style, with vines, pomegranates, baskets, flowers, ferns and rams heads and the beautiful ceiling cornice depicts scallop shells and leaves.

Nearby the main estate is the 16th-century Dower House.

The building offers an extra five bedrooms and bathrooms, four reception rooms and an indoor swimming pool, as well as three staff apartments.

Highlights of the property are an elegant drawing room, library and grounds which include over two acres of a Georgian walled garden.

The listing read: “These include the library, with a magnificent bay window with three full length sash windows with working shutters, a range of fitted bookshelves in a heavy Jacobean style with carving depicting fruits and leaves and with carved stone open fireplace with ornate carvings either side.”

Visitors of the château-style manor house won’t need of a helicopter or a private jet as it can easily be accessed by road.

Agents added: “The glorious gardens and grounds provide the most impressive backdrop with formal, landscaped lawns and terraces, including parterre gardens retaining much of the original planting and decoration.

“The Georgian Walled Garden provides abundant fresh fruit, flowers, herbs and vegetables for the house. It has been cultivated using entirely organic farming methods under the guidance of The Soil Association.”

It comes as house-hunters have been left stunned by a near-£4m mansion on sale with a very unique feature – an entire jet in the back garden. 

The six-bedroom mansion in Petersfield, Hampshire, hit the market on Rightmove last Friday, where it is listed for an eye-watering £3.95m.
