This is a home that makes a statement. Off the wide and imposing entrance hall – a canvas for bold art and sculptural pendant lighting – a curving aspect and trio of arched sash windows bring the atmosphere in the formal reception room. Curl up on the circular velvet sofa and gaze out towards the gardens.
There’s a cinematic charm to Castle Grove, a seven-bedroom manor house to rent where heritage and modernity harmonise.
Property information
Beside the moated walls of Broughton Castle, a country house with a private, poetic feel.
Exuding classic English elegance, a honey-hued stone façade, stately portico and symmetrical sash windows set the scene here. Outside, a graceful, curved rotunda overlooks manicured lawns, mature trees and a tranquil lake. Inside, thoughtful spaces invite connection and relaxation – from grand entertaining rooms to restful bedroom suites and considered wellness features.

The living spaces
An additional drawing room is just as inviting, with floor-to-ceiling wood panelling and a stone fireplace, grounded by navy-blue walls and comfortable furniture. Completing the generous communal areas, there’s another relaxed lounge with wall-to-wall bookshelves, while a dedicated study provides a peaceful backdrop for home working.
Kitchen & dining
A dark blue Aga and Delft tiles are the centrepiece of the quintessential country kitchen. Duck egg blue cabinetry, hefty timber beams and high ceilings add to the uplifting feel, while a central island provides plenty of preparation space. Down a few steps, there’s an easy-going breakfast area featuring a dining table, bench seating and reams of natural light courtesy of large French windows.
Things take a moodier turn in the formal dining room, with its dark walls, log fireplace and sash windows with panelled shutters. A glossy red table and velvet chairs call for dinner parties with loved ones.
Outdoor space
Beyond the house, Castle Grove’s grounds are a masterclass in pastoral beauty. Expansive lawns sweep down towards a tranquil lake, its glassy surface reflecting the honeyed stone of the house and the surrounding mature trees. The landscaped gardens are thoughtfully designed, from clipped topiary and climbing greenery to shaded pathways that invite quiet strolls.
A heated outdoor pool, bordered by manicured hedges invites long days spent lounging and swimming. The rustic-chic pool house – with exposed brickwork, timber beams and a fully equipped gym – blends countryside character with modern wellness. Tucked into a leafy copse, a children’s climbing playground adds a touch of adventure, while a kitchen garden offers fresh herbs and seasonal produce for family meals.
For larger gatherings, the self-contained Stable Cottage provides additional accommodation and can be rented separately for a supplemental fee.
Bedrooms & bathrooms
Upstairs, tranquillity reigns. Three principal bedrooms occupy the first floor, each finished with soft pastel palettes, richly textured fabrics and leafy outlooks. Generous proportions and thoughtful detailing create a sense of calm indulgence. Spa-like en suites enjoy freestanding bathtubs, marble tiling and walk-in rainfall showers. On the top floor, a double bedroom and two charming bunk rooms offer a playful yet peaceful retreat for children, while a twin bedroom completes the home’s seven-bedroom offering.

The surroundings
Characterful cottages line peaceful lanes in the village of Broughton, where centuries of history intertwine with a strong sense of community. The namesake Grade I listed Broughton Castle was first built in 1306, with its undulating moat surrounding the inimitable Hornton ironstone architecture. The formal gardens are perfect for meditative walks right on the doorstep.
A short drive brings you to Blenheim Palace, with its grand state rooms and sweeping parklands, while the charming town of Woodstock is close by for boutique shopping and artisanal cafés. For designer retail, Bicester Village is one of the area’s coveted fashion destinations. Both under 20 minutes’ drive, Daylesford and Soho Farmhouse promise organic produce and cosmopolitan wellness offerings. If you’re taking a road trip through the rolling Cotswold hills, be sure to stop off at The Wild Rabbit in Kingham, Henne in Morton-in-Marsh or MO in Broadway for some of the area’s best fine dining.
