Kiddington Hall

Kiddington Hall stands in Oxfordshire with pale limestone walls, multiple reception rooms, and extensive gardens overlooking a serpentine lake formed by the River Glyme.

Built in 1673 by Sir Henry Browne, the manor underwent substantial modifications in 1840 when Mortimer Ricardo commissioned architect Sir Charles Barry to transform it into Italianate style.

The estate connects to literature through Reverend Thomas Warton, who served as rector for 20 years and later became poet laureate, writing about spring at Kiddington.

The property spans 2,050 acres and includes a main house with two suites, seven bedrooms, ten attic rooms, and generates income through rentals and farming activities.

Landscape architect Lancelot Brown designed the park between 1740 and 1760, creating an undulating landscape with a characteristic serpentine lake by damming the River Glyme.
