Situated in the heart of the glorious Oxfordshire countryside, Field Farm with its range of imposing traditional stone outbuildings, sits in the centre of its land and has stunning views down the valley.

The property has served as a much loved family home for many years. Within the Farmhouse the well- proportioned rooms have some lovely original features including flagstone floors, bay windows and open fireplaces. Part of the house is used as a self-contained annexe known as The Little Cottage which still has connecting doors and offers buyers the option of incorporating it back into the main house if required.

To the rear of the Farmhouse is a traditional building that has been converted to provide a 2 bedroom cottage which currently operates as a very successful holiday let.

Outside, the range of impressive traditional barns and stables complement the principal house, all being untouched and with great scope for conversion and remodelling, subject to the necessary consents. Two large portal framed agricultural buildings also offer scope for alternative equestrian or commercial uses.

Field Farm offers buyers an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a property in an enchanting location, offering privacy without isolation and with enormous potential. Viewing

In the village itself there is primary school, post office and shop, and two village pubs. There is a mainline railway station at nearby Long Hanborough with trains into London Paddington.

Oxford and the surrounding towns and villages provide excellent private and state schools. The area is well situated for sporting facilities with racing at Cheltenham and Stratford, hunting with the Heythrop and golf at Witney Lakes and Burford. The surrounding countryside provides wonderful walking and riding along a number of public footpaths and bridleways. Accommodation

There are a number of adjoining buildings offering scope for conversion, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.

There are a number of other single storey, stone and timber outbuildings that are currently used as part of the existing equestrian business. There is also a fully enclosed outdoor school.

Behind the traditional buildings there are 2 large portal framed agricultural buildings the largest measuring (23m x 25m) and the other (14m x 14m). These barns give buyers the opportunity for a number of different uses subject to obtaining planning permission for change of use. They would be especially well suited to American barn stabling and possibly an indoor school. Gardens

A wrought iron gate opens from the gravelled parking area into the landscaped garden to the front of the farmhouse. A large sweeping lawn is bordered by mature trees and established shrubs with seasonal planting.

To the side is an enclosed walled vegetable garden. Terraces to both the front and rear provide ideal spaces for entertaining.
