Hainault House's origins date from the early to mid 17th century. It is a substantial, double fronted Cotswold home standing proudly on the raised pavements of the historic village of Blockley.
Along with its neighbouring properties, Hainault was listed by English Heritage in 1983 due to its unique composition. The details of the actual listing are shown below:
