Oakley Hall

Approached via a winding driveway, the 18th-century Georgian manor house reveals itself slowly, framed by 315 acres of rolling North Hampshire farmland. Original Victorian ceiling mouldings, parquet floors, and ornate fireplaces bring a sense of history to every room. A porte-cochère welcomes you into an interior that pairs its heritage details with contemporary, understated elegance. Every public space, bedroom and event room has been thoughtfully styled to complement this balance.
