According to Page Six, the musician claimed he was seen picnicking there with his young daughters Willa, three, and Delphine, 14 months, next to the home’s “gorgeous walled garden.”
“The idea of taking my kids to school on the boat and spending a relaxing afternoon going to the pub with friends on my own boat completely fascinated me,” he continued. “You designed your home beautifully – I was incredibly inspired by the layout and energy of the house.”
“I couldn’t help but notice the musicality of the house and the fact that it has a huge space that can serve as my recording studio is amazing – there’s nothing about the design that we want to change,” Jonas enthused.
The father-of-two added that father-in-law Andrew Turner was “an incredibly keen gardener” and was “suitably impressed” with the property’s vegetable garden.
While he envisioned spending the rest of his life in England, the Grammy nominee said he and Turner could truly “imagine” their children “growing up here and making this our forever home.”
He concluded that his family would spend “many years” “paying homage to the magic” that the previous owner had “created.”
The letter was well received by the seller, who accepted the former couple’s offer and a 10 percent down payment of $914,130 on July 7, just two months before the split.

“When my wife and I decided to spend more time in the UK and look for a permanent home, our (eldest) daughter expressed three unwavering demands: chickens, a pony and a Wendy house,” Jonas reportedly said.
The father-of-two continued: “Although many of the homes we viewed met these criteria, the moment we turned the corner and saw the enchanting blue shutters, we experienced a feeling of magic like we had never felt before had felt.”
“As we entered your beautiful walled garden we were greeted by the sight of your children enjoying a delightful picnic under the shade of a tree, accompanied by a macrame swing. “It was just heavenly,” he marveled.
Jonas added: “I was completely fascinated by the idea of taking my children to school on the boat and spending a relaxing afternoon with friends on my own boat to the pub.” “You have designed your home beautifully – I was incredibly inspired from the layout and the energy of the house.”
“I couldn’t help but notice the musicality of the house and the fact that it has a huge space that can serve as my recording studio is amazing – there’s nothing about the design that we would change.” “I really think that Sophie and I can steward and pay homage to the magic you have created for many, many years to come,” Joe wrote in the letter.
Jonas concluded the note by mentioning that the property received a stamp of approval from Turner’s father.
He said: “My father-in-law is an incredibly keen gardener and he was also impressed by your vegetable garden, a very important testament.”
At the time, he reportedly texted one of Turner’s sisters-in-law that they “officially own a house in the UK.”
According to court documents obtained by Page Six, “the sale of the Oxford home is scheduled to close on December 2.”
The insider pointed out that “the house is in escrow and the sale never closed.”
The update comes after DailyMail.com learned in a new court filing that a judge has ordered that the couple’s children not be deported from the US until their Oct. 3 court hearing.
The Games of Thrones has claimed that she and Jonas “agreed and committed to moving to England” last year and moved out of their Miami home on March 10.
As they began to put down roots in England, Turner said their eldest “enrolled full-time in a nursery in England and Wales” in the spring, according to Turner.

In August, the two finally sold their Florida property for a whopping $15 million.
Her personal possessions and belongings were “shipped” to the UK “between May 5th and July 31st”.
Earlier this week, Turner and Jonas agreed to temporarily keep their children in New York after she sued him to return her children’s passports to her.
The court agreement, filed Monday and obtained by DailyMail.com, states that their daughters must remain in the Southern or Eastern Districts of New York – an area that includes New York City, the Hudson Valley and Long Island.
According to the filing, Sophie and Joe have “agreed to the entry of the attached proposed interim consent order, without prejudice to the claims and defenses of either party, prohibiting the removal of the parties’ children from the jurisdictions… pending further order of this court.”
The court order was issued to “protect the welfare of the (children) involved,” according to the document filed by Turner’s attorney, Stephen Cullen.
But it is also about “preventing the further removal or concealment of the children before the final decision on the petition.”
The filing represents an apparent truce between the exes after allegations were exchanged against each other over the past two weeks.
A draft of the order must now be signed by Judge Katherine Polk Failla, who is overseeing the case.
The law relevant to the dispute is the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction and the International Child Abduction Remedies Act.
The first hearing is scheduled for October 3 in Manhattan federal court.
The couple, who have been married for four years and have been called Willa for three, welcomed their second daughter, Delphine, in July 2022, according to court documents
The filing comes just days after Jonas sensationally denied his estranged wife’s claims after she accused him of withholding their children’s passports and refusing to allow them to travel to her in the UK.
Turner filed a lawsuit Thursday to try to get her two children back to her native England.
After the news broke, a representative for Jonas said in a statement to DailyMail.com that the singer was seeking to “co-parent” with the “Game Of Thrones” star, adding: “The children have not been kidnapped.”
“This is an unfortunate legal disagreement over a marriage that is sadly ending.” Using phrases like “kidnapping” is misleading at best and a serious abuse of the legal system at worst. “The children were not kidnapped,” the representative said.
“After being in Joe’s care for the past three months by mutual consent of both parties, the children are currently with their mother. Sophie is only making this claim to move the divorce proceedings to the UK and permanently remove the children from the US.”
Jonas’ rep also said the singer had “already denied any statements allegedly made on his behalf that denigrated Sophie.”
“They were made without his consent and are not consistent with his views.” “His wish is that Sophie reconsiders her harsh legal situation and takes a more constructive and private approach,” the statement said.

“The Florida court has already issued an order prohibiting both parents from placing the children.” This order was served on Sophie on September 6, 2023, more than two weeks ago.’
Jonas’ rep also said the former couple “had a warm meeting last Sunday in New York,” where Turner had arrived to be with her children.

Shocking breakup: The couple’s messy split was thrust into the spotlight earlier this month when Jonas – who is currently on tour with the Jonas Brothers – filed for divorce in Miami, Florida (seen last month)
“Plaintiff Sophie Belinda Turner (the “Mother”), through and through her undersigned attorneys, files this confirmed application for the return of the children to England (the “Application”) against Defendant Joseph Adam Jonas (the “Father”). , the court filing says.
The couple’s messy split came to light earlier this month when Jonas – who is currently on tour with the Jonas Brothers – filed for divorce in Miami, Florida.
The couple had been married for four years and had their second daughter in July 2022.
Turner also claims that the former couple had planned for her and the children to accompany Jonas and his family on his band’s US tour before returning to the UK, where they would stay in a rental property.
She claimed they would move to a new home in the UK when it was completed in December this year.
In preparation for their move to the UK, the couple listed their family home in Miami.
“On or about April 10, 2023, the family moved to England” and lived in rental accommodation while they waited to move into their new home, the filing said.
The actress also disputed Jonas’ claim in his divorce filings that the children lived in Florida for six months before announcing their separation.
At the time, Turner was said to be staying at her superstar pal Taylor Swift’s Tribeca townhouse and the St. Regis Hotel with her and Jonas’ two daughters.
Full statement from Joe Jonas:
“After several discussions with Sophie, Joe initiated divorce proceedings in Florida, as Florida is the relevant jurisdiction for the case.” Sophie was aware that Joe would file for divorce. The Florida court has already issued an order prohibiting both parents from placing the children. This order was delivered to Sophie on September 6, 2023, more than two weeks ago.
“Joe and Sophie had a warm meeting in New York last Sunday when Sophie came to New York to be with the children. They have been with her since that meeting. Joe’s impression of the meeting was that they had agreed to work together on an amicable co-parenting arrangement.
“Less than 24 hours later, Sophie announced she wanted to bring the children to the UK permanently. She then used this file to demand that Joe hand over the children’s passports so that she could take them out of the country immediately. If he complies, Joe will be in violation of the Florida court’s order.
“Joe is committed to co-education of the children so that they are raised by both their mother and father, and of course is also happy for the children to be raised in both the US and the UK.” The children were born in Born in the USA and have spent most of their lives in the USA. You are American citizens.
“This is an unfortunate legal disagreement over a marriage that is sadly ending.” Using phrases like “kidnapping” is misleading at best and a serious abuse of the legal system at worst. The children were not kidnapped. After being in Joe’s care for the past three months by mutual consent of both parties, the children are currently with their mother. Sophie is only making this claim to move the divorce proceedings to the UK and permanently remove the children from the US.
“Joe has already denied all statements allegedly made on his behalf that were derogatory to Sophie.” They were made without his consent and are not consistent with his views. His wish is that Sophie rethinks her difficult legal situation and takes a more constructive and private approach. His only concern is the welfare of his children.”
