Hollywood actress Florence Pugh's childhood home is set for a change of ownership, with her parents, Clinton Pugh and Deborah Mackin, putting their sprawling Oxfordshire property on the market for £1.65 million. The Grade II-listed barn, where the Oppenheimer star spent much of her childhood, holds several family memories and has featured in numerous pictures shared by the actress over the years.According to the Daily Mail, the property, which the couple purchased in October 2011 for £950,000, is now being put up for sale as they reportedly consider downsizing. With Florence and one of her sisters having moved out, the family is understood to be considering a smaller home after years of living in the five-bedroom countryside property.Florence Pugh's childhood home listed for £1.65 millionLocated west of Oxford, the five-bedroom, five-bathroom property is a Grade II-listed former agricultural barn that was converted into a family home. It was listed for sale on September 24 through Knight Frank and other estate agents, with an asking price of £1.65 million.Described on Rightmove as a 'characterful 17th-century barn conversion with a small holding, set within attractive countryside on the edge of Oxford', the property boasts impressive beamed interiors, vaulted ceilings and far-reaching views of the surrounding countryside.The barn also features an annexe and a separate studio, offering additional accommodation and flexible living spaces. The annexe has been particularly useful for the family, as Florence's brother, musician Toby Sebastian, has been living there since they moved into the property.However, Toby recently welcomed a baby with his wife, Scarlet Alexandra, and may now be looking for more space for his growing family.Why Florence Pugh's parents are selling their family homeClinton and Deborah are reportedly considering downsizing after their children gradually moved out of the family home. Florence and one of her sisters have long since left the property, while her younger sister Rafaela, also known as Raffie, is understood to still live there with their parents.Florence has three siblings: vocal coach Arabella Gibbins, 40, musician Toby Sebastian, 34, and Rafaela, 23.In a statement accompanying the property listing, the owners reflected on what made the barn special to them, highlighting its location, spacious interiors and the lifestyle it offered.They said the property had always stood out because of its unique position, offering extensive countryside views while remaining close to Oxford and its amenities.The family also enjoyed maintaining a vegetable garden, keeping chickens and creating an environment that attracted different kinds of wildlife.Describing the interiors, the owners said the barn was 'wonderfully light and spacious', with double-height ceilings adding to the sense of openness in its main living areas.They also highlighted the versatility of the annexe, which offered independent accommodation for family members and guests, complete with its own garden and parking. The separate studio, built during their ownership, could also serve as a home office, hobby room or additional accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions.Reflecting on their years there, they added that the barn had been a wonderful home for bringing family and friends together while enjoying the benefits of countryside living and proximity to Oxford.Florence Pugh has shared several memories from the barnOver the years, Florence has offered glimpses of her family home through social media. In December 2015, she shared a photograph of the Pugh family sitting together on a new sofa in their living room. Recalling the moment, she mentioned that her father had tickled her just as the picture was being taken.Other photographs showed Florence spending time with chicks in the garden, celebrating birthdays and Christmas with her family, and enjoying everyday moments around the house.The actress also shared pictures with Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams in the property's annexe. The two actors had worked together in Florence's film debut, The Falling, in 2014.Some of the family's more personal moments also found their way onto social media, including a photograph of Toby holding the family cat in the barn's kitchen and a video of Florence singing in the annexe.Toby's Instagram posts have also featured the property, including a video of Clinton putting up a Christmas tree inside the barn. More recently, Clinton was photographed in the living areas in April while showcasing his collection of paintings by artist Sacha Jafri, which was set to feature in a charity exhibition.From Oxford childhood to Hollywood stardom: Florence Pugh's journeyFlorence grew up in Oxford, although her family spent a few years in Spain when she was a young child.
