America Farm
Ewelme, CotswoldsOverview
A white Georgian farmhouse near Oxford
America Farm is a stylish Georgian-farmhouse-style home close to Oxford, designed with a mix of English, Scandinavian, and Caribbean influences. From the outside it appears to be a classic white-stucco country house; inside, it opens into a light-filled, airy, and beautifully considered family home. Vogue described it as a “Dreamy English Country Home,” and the house more than lives up to that sentiment. Set at the end of a quiet lane and behind wrought-iron gates, the property looks out across its own hedge-bordered lawns and open rural views — a calm, private retreat in south-east Oxfordshire.

About the space
A kitchen dining room for twelve, hedged gardens
Inside
The interiors balance elegance with ease, making the house ideal for family gatherings. A generous drawing room, large kitchen–dining room for twelve, and a study/television room give plenty of space to spread out. The ground-floor guest room sits beside a walk-in-shower bathroom, offering accessible accommodation. The design is refined but relaxed, with symmetry, soft colours, and warm natural textures throughout.
Outside
The gardens are private and bordered by hedging, with a large lawn, outdoor dining area, and barbecue. Views stretch across the property’s own fields, giving the sense of a secluded English country estate. Two footpaths run across the northern field, used only occasionally by local walkers and not intrusive to the privacy of the house.
