A Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity: Own a Historic Baronial Manor in St Margaret’s Bay

Each month, the Quealy & Co team shines a spotlight on an inspiring property for sale, showcasing stunning homes across the UK and beyond. This time, our friends at Miles & Barr are featuring a breathtaking residence in St Margaret’s Bay.

Some homes simply take your breath away. Not only for their beauty, but for the stories they hold. Oxney Court, a Grade II listed Baronial Style Gothic Manor, is one of those rare places where history, architecture and modern luxury unite in perfect harmony.

Set within 35 acres of rolling parkland, manicured gardens and ancient woodland near St Margaret’s Bay, this extraordinary estate presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of Kent’s most remarkable country residences.

Where Heritage Meets Grandeur

Dating back in parts to the 17th century, Oxney Court exudes timeless elegance. Behind its striking stone façade lies over 9,000 sq. ft. of magnificent living space, painstakingly restored and enhanced with exceptional care; most notably in the late 1990s and again in 2013.

The result is a home that retains its Baronial Gothic splendour with octagonal reception hall, ornate fireplaces and arched windows while seamlessly incorporating modern comfort and technology.

Five exquisite reception rooms invite both formal entertaining and relaxed family living. The well-appointed kitchen, graceful conservatory, and tower staircase add distinctive character, while six luxurious bedroom suites each provide their own sanctuary, complete with elegant en-suites and far-reaching views of the surrounding estate.

Descend to the arched wine cellar, and you can almost imagine the echoes of centuries past, a reminder that this house has seen everything from school life to wartime service, each chapter adding depth to its remarkable story.

A Country Estate Designed for Modern Living

While Oxney Court’s architecture may be historic, its lifestyle is thoroughly modern. The estate encompasses a total of 13 bedrooms, spread across the main residence, a two-bedroom staff cottage, and a four-bedroom guest house, ensuring comfort, flexibility and privacy for family, staff, and guests alike.

Outside, the estate offers a wealth of amenities designed for leisure and enjoyment. A heated swimming pool, tennis court, fully equipped gym, and even a handcrafted treehouse (complete with chimney, rope bridges and zip wire) provide something for everyone from the tranquil to the adventurous.

For al fresco dining and entertaining, the outdoor kitchen and fireplace set within a woodland clearing create an unforgettable setting for summer evenings with friends and family.

A Setting of Exceptional Beauty

Located just minutes from the beach at St Margaret’s Bay, Oxney Court occupies a position of rare tranquillity and prestige. The estate’s walled garden with rose beds and lush lawns offers a secluded sanctuary, while electric gates, a smart house system, CCTV, and ample parking ensure complete peace of mind.

Beyond its boundaries, the surrounding area offers a quintessential Kentish lifestyle. The village of St Margaret’s Bay provides charming pubs, a 12th-century church, and a strong sense of community, while Dover, Deal and Canterbury are all within easy reach for shopping, culture, and schooling.

Commuters will appreciate excellent transport links, with Martin Mill station connecting to London St Pancras via High Speed 1, and the nearby A2 and M20 offering quick access across Kent and to the Continent.

The Epitome of Refined Country Living

Oxney Court isn’t simply a property, it’s an experience. A home of stature and soul, designed for those who appreciate heritage, craftsmanship and space to live life to the fullest. From quiet mornings overlooking the lawns to evening gatherings beneath the trees, every corner of this estate celebrates elegance, privacy, and connection with nature.

For discerning buyers seeking a historic country home in Kent that combines grandeur with modern luxury, Oxney Court represents the pinnacle of refined living.
