Brandy’s Farmhouse is a substantial Cotswold estate set across several private acres in the quiet Oxfordshire village of Sandford St Martin, a short drive from Soho Farmhouse and Great Tew. Across the main house and a self-contained two-bedroom Annex tucked behind the tennis court, the property sleeps up to 15 in eight bedrooms and five bathrooms — a genuinely flexible layout for a large family gathering or a group of friends wanting some separation of their own.
The main house holds six bedrooms: three king rooms with Super King or Emperor beds, a double, a further king room with a Super King bed, and a sixth bedroom on the main floor with easy, near-level access to the bathroom next door. Two bedrooms have spa-like en-suites, while the remaining rooms share a large bathroom with a separate tub and a walk-in shower, and there is a further powder room on the main floor.
Outside, the grounds are built for slow, proper relaxation: a heated swimming pool, open all year round at no extra charge, sits alongside a hot tub, a traditional sauna, a cold plunge pool and an outdoor fire pit — a genuine wellness circuit before or after a day exploring the Cotswolds. There is also a private tennis court, a lawn made for bocce or horseshoes, and, from April to October, an outdoor dining area with barbecue.
Inside, two comfortable sitting rooms and two separate offices give plenty of room to spread out or work quietly, while the Devol designer kitchen — built around an iconic AGA and a Bosch electric oven and hob, with two fridges and a brand-new washer and dryer — is very much made for cooking together. The dining table extends to seat 12 to 14, with two further bar seats for up to 16 at a push, and two fireplaces, one gas and one wood-burning, keep things cosy through the cooler months.
STEP-FREE ANNEX The two-bedroom Annex, set just behind the tennis court, gives guests a private, step-free retreat of their own — a king bedroom, a flexible room made up as a king or twin, a single bedroom, a full bathroom and a kitchenette for light meals. It is a particularly good option for elderly guests or anyone who prefers single-level living, without ever feeling cut off from the main house.
Sandford St Martin sits deep in rural Oxfordshire, close to Soho Farmhouse and Great Tew, with the market towns of Chipping Norton and Burford, and Blenheim Palace, all within easy reach — a genuinely peaceful, prestigious setting for a Cotswolds escape.
