Nuffield Place, Historic house in Nuffield, Oxfordshire, England
Nuffield Place is a country house in Oxfordshire that architect Oswald Milne enlarged in the 1930s and modernized for a wealthy family. The property preserves furnishings, decorations, and personal items from that era throughout its rooms, reflecting the daily life of the upper-middle class.
The building was constructed in 1914, but only underwent significant expansion and redesign after its new owner arrived in 1933. He lived there until his death in 1963, having shaped British industrial history through his career.
The name honors William Morris, who founded Morris Motors and left his mark on British industry. The rooms reveal how a wealthy industrialist of the 20th century lived and spent his days.
The grounds cover four acres with mature trees, yew hedges, and landscaped gardens featuring a rose pergola and rockery. The house sits roughly one mile west of Nettlebed and welcomes visitors on most days.
Hidden behind a cupboard door in one bedroom sits a miniature workshop equipped with metalworking tools and a vice. This tucked-away space reveals the hands-on nature and mechanical curiosity of the man who lived here.
