<b>Property History</b>
A handsome Grade II* listed village house, well situated in the popular village of Hellidon overlooking beautifully maintained gardens and grounds, with countryside views.
</br>
Hellidon Grange is built of Ironstone Ashlar with sandstone dressings under a tiled roof. The core of The Grange, although difficult to date, is believed to have been a small baker’s house which was remodelled and extended by prominent award winning architect, William Butterfield into a Rectory and Preparatory school during the mid-1800’s. Works to build Butterfields’ reputation include St Augustine’s in Canterbury, All Saints in London and St Alban’s in Holborn followed by various Oxford Colleges.
