Rousham House dates back to 1635, with its landscape garden designed by renowned 18th Century designer William Kent.
It is open to the public throughout the year, with its website describing it as “completely unspoilt and uncommercialised”.
In their letter of objection to Cherwell District Council, current owners Charles and Angela Cottrell-Dormer, said the proposed development would have a “harmful impact on adjoining areas”.
They said the view from the Eye Catcher, a sham ruin in the gardens, was of “high significance” and would be “significantly harmed” by the proposed development.
