Barton House near Wantage, an 11-acre Georgian property dating to the 1780s, has been listed for £2.6 million.

Barton House near Ardington and East Lockinge, about two miles from Wantage, has been listed for £2.6 million. The almost 11-acre property comprises the main house, adjoining annexe, stables, outbuildings and approximately 1.91 acres of paddock land. The original part dates to the 1780s, when the then owners of East Lockinge, the Wymondsold family, agreed to provide a new rectory on a plot of land called Barton Close, which gave the house its name. The house became part of the Lockinge Estate in 1853 when Lord Overstone purchased East Lockinge from the Wymondsold family.

Barton House has been run as a guesthouse for 13 years and features nine double bedrooms. The food is under the direction of executive chef Tom Sherry, who worked under Michelin-starred chef Jason Atherton during his time working for Gordon Ramsay Holding. The Lockinge Estate's marketing description notes the property comprises a period property with beautiful grounds and may suit other commercial uses subject to relevant planning consents.

Planning permission has been obtained but not yet implemented to reverse the change of use back to a private dwelling, according to the estate's description.
