The company also has a six-bedroom, detached, red-brick Georgian farmhouse near Bicester set in walled gardens of about an acre.

Granborough from the original Anglo Saxon meaning Green Hill, was once owned by the Abbey of St Albans, but passed to the Crown after the dissolution.

Agents believe it was built in about 1810, with parts added during the mid-19th century.

Much of the house was built using local brick and the stone work around the kitchen came from the nearby monastery of Wellin, which was sacked and destroyed in about 1820.

The drawing room still has the original window shutters and a working fireplace and there are two more reception rooms.

The kitchen/breakfast room includes an Aga and there is a separate utility and boot room. It has a double garage, stable, courtyard and a paddock is available through separate negotiation. Gardening is included in the monthly rental fee.

Granborough is available, unfurnished, from February 24 at £2,750 pcm.
