Barton House, which is also a venue for hire, is being marketed by the Lockinge Estate with the almost 11-acre property situated near to both Ardington and East Lockinge, about two miles from Wantage.
The original part of the guesthouse is believed to date back 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 Georgian house its name.

The house became part of the Lockinge Estate in 1853 when Lord Overstone purchased East Lockinge from the Wymondsold family.
The description by Lockinge Estate said: “Barton House is a period property situated between the villages of Ardington and East Lockinge.
“The property comprises the main house, adjoining annexe, stables, outbuildings, beautiful grounds and approximately 1.91 acres of paddock land.
