Mill House and The Wharf, Historic residential buildings in Sutton Courtenay, Oxfordshire, England.
Description
Mill House and The Wharf comprise three Grade II listed buildings constructed between the 18th and early 20th centuries, featuring red brick architecture with neo-William-and-Mary style elements designed by architect Walter Cave.
History
Margot Asquith acquired The Wharf in 1911 and Mill House in 1917, transforming them into a country retreat where Prime Minister H. H. Asquith spent his final years until his death in 1928.
Culture
The buildings served as a social gathering place for British political elite during the early 1900s and remain connected to the Asquith family through Helena Bonham Carter's ownership of Mill House since 2006.
Practical
The properties are privately owned Grade II listed buildings requiring special permissions for alterations, located on Church Street in Sutton Courtenay with access via local roads from nearby towns.
