Belles Berry, daughter of famed baker Dame Mary Berry, has listed her ten‑acre Oxfordshire estate, Blenheim Farm, for £3.5 million. The property, completed in 2020 near Ewelme and Wallingford, combines sweeping countryside views with a suite of high‑end amenities. According to the listing, the home was designed by Belles and her husband after moving from an on‑site bungalow in 2014.

Blenheim Farm listed at £3.5 million in South Oxfordshire

The sale price of £3 .5 million positions the estate among the region’s most expensive private homes, a figure highlighted by the agency Savills. Situated just fifteen minutes from Henley, where Dame Mary and her husband reside, the location offers both seclusion and easy access to nearby towns. The ten‑acre grounds, once an alpaca farm, now feature a rose garden, fruit orchards and a 60‑year‑old beech woodland planted with snowdrops from Hedsor House.

Dual kitchens and a champagne chiller highlight luxury design

One of the most striking interior features is the presence of two separate kitchens, a detail Belles explained allows one space for grand entertaining while the other servs as a functional prep area. The primary kitchen boasts a central island, a two‑metre champagne chiller and a grey five‑door Aga, a gift from Dame Mary herself. Savills notes that these high‑end finishes, alongside polished concrete floors and Moroccan‑tiled fountains , cater to large‑scale entertaining.

Family memorabilia: library and garden tributes to Dame Mary Berry

The home’s library, with floor‑to‑ceiling shelving, was built to house the 5,000‑volume collection of Belles’s father, Paul Hunnings, an antiquarian bookseller . A separate study showcases Belles’s own gardening and cookery books, while antique wooden pews and a French‑monastery dresser add historic charm. Outside, the rose garden features Chandos Beauty roses, a favourite of Dame Mary, and the estate hosted her 80th‑birthday celebration.

Savills notes on entertainment‑ready amenities

Beyond the interiors, the estate includes a swimming pool, tennis court and a dedicated games room, amenities that proved valuable during lockdown periods. Real‑estate experts from Savills describe the property as “perfectly suited for family life and large‑scale entertaining,” emphasizing the copper roll‑top bath in the principal bedroom and the media room’s vintage 1970s tan leather sofa.

Will the alpaca‑farm past affect buyer interest?

One unanswered question is whether the site’s former use as an alpaca farm will influence prospective buyers, a detail not addressed in the listing. Additionally, the market response to a celebrity‑linked property at this price point remains to be seen, as the report provides no indication of existing offers.
