Lower Heyford is a delightful village. Nestling in a valley with the River Cherwell parallel to the Oxford canal, farmland surrounds the village and the local scenery is wonderful. There is a good local school, a lovely old pub, local store, and access to all points of the compass is exceptional with the M40 and A34 close by and the Cherwell Valley railway line Heyford station within the village. For those looking for a rural existence combined with nearby access to all amenities, there are few better villages in North Oxfordshire. • | Pretty stone cottage | Bicester 7 miles, Oxford 11 miles | Mains water, electric, oil heating • | Farmland views to rear | M40 5 miles, London rail 1/4 mile | Cherwell District Council • | 2 Bedrooms currently | Charming village of great character | Council tax band C • | Good potential to extend (STPP) | Pub, church, village hall, canal | C.£1,688 p.a 2019/20 • | Large refitted kitchen/ diner | Superfast broadband • | Utility room to rear • | Refitted modern bathroom • | Garden wraps round three sides Approximate distances & times 54 Freehold Street, Lower Heyford, OX25 5NT Guide price £295,000 Number 54 has been owned and cared for by an Oxford University College for decades as a lettings property. Since the last tenant left the property has been comprehensively upgraded and modernised, hence today it is in lovely order, with well proportioned rooms. In particular, the house is well placed to take advantage of one of the best views in the area, overlooking farmland to the rear that extends for miles to the South. It's an extremely affordable solution to finding a character house in this premium village; it is also our strong suspicion (supported by our friendly architect) that the house could be extended to provide a significant amount of extra space, subject to planning - if you would like to investigate further please ask and we will be glad to help. The entrance to the house is on the right side, opening into a small inner hallway off which are the stairs. The door ahead leads directly into the living room. The instant impression is of a larger space than expected. At nearly 12 feet square with a large window to the front, it's a light and also practical room, and the fireplace is an attractive feature. To the rear a door leads into the recently refitted kitchen, which at 15 feet long also provides ample dining space, a rarity in this sort of property. Behind the kitchen a small inner porch leads out to the rear garden as well as a separate utility room, a great bonus in a cottage of this size. Upstairs there are two bedrooms. The view from both is splendid, with the smaller of the two at the rear overlooking the fields and the far-reaching views beyond. The larger at the front looks out across the tops of the lovely character houses of the lane opposite. Serving the pair is a surprisingly roomy, and immaculate, modern bathroom with a white suite. Outside, the house sits well back from the sleepy lane outside, in an elevated position. A path leads up between the stone front walls and hedgerow to the door, and to the front and side are quite large areas of lawn. This extends round to the rear of the house, where there is also a small stone outbuilding ideal for storing garden tools/ mower etc in addition to a wooden shed. At the rear, the land is enclosed with a small stone wall, beyond which is a wonderful Southerly view over farmland, currently hosting a flock of sheep. It's a delightfully peaceful location.

  • Observations at Somerton, Oxon., 1973
    Observations at Somerton, Oxon., 1973 By R. A. CHAMBERS SUMMARy During the autumn of I9 73 a watching briif was kept over a series ofpipe trenches dug for the installation of main drainage in and around the shrunken medieval village of Somerton, Oxon. (SP497287).' Continuous observation of the open trench sections provided material from the medieval village' and also enabled a reappraisal of the cemetery at Castle Yard (SP496288).' THE VILLAGE HIS report is concerned with the archaeological information from pipe trenches. T The historical and topographical background has been included to provide a context for the features encountered and is not a comprehensive account of the whole village,' which was one of the largest and richest in Ploughley Hundred during the Middle Ages. Since the medieval period the village has shrunk, leaving the present nucleated settlement with the Norman parish church on its southerr. edge (FIG. I). The deserted areas which surround the present village are for the most part under pasture with earthworks clearly visible (PL. Xl, A). On the west side of the village, Church Street forms a ' T ' junction with a hollow way shown by Davis' map to have been disused and under pasture by 1797.' Northwards the way ends by the assumed castle fishponds. Some 100 m. south-west of Church Street the h~llow way con­ tinues westwards and forms the boundary between some less pronounced village earthworks to the north and the edge of the open field to the south (PL. Xl, A)." The western limit of the open field and a further length of the hollow way lie buried by the mid nineteenth-century railway embankment.

  • Lower Heyford and Caulcott
    LOWER HEYFORD AND CAULCOTT PARISH PLAN 2010/11 INTRODUCTION AND WELCOME Welcome to the Parish Plan This plan has been put together by the Parish Plan Steering group, which had representation from the Parish Council. The steering group has taken forward some of the quick wins whilst the plan was in the process of being put together, but the Parish Council has adopted the plan and has agreed to drive forward implementation in the future. The Parish Plan Steering Group believes that this report has accurately recorded the opinions of those who answered the questionnaire. With a 70% response rate it is likely that those who mind most about the environment in which they live have given their comment. We trust that when decisions are made about potential changes in Lower Heyford and Caulcott the results of this report will be taken into account. We live in a beautiful place, and there are many people of goodwill in the villages who contribute to our community life and our surroundings in a range of ways. But there is space for more! If you are interested in any of the areas covered in this plan, have any resources to offer, and you have not yet been recruited please don’t hesitate to get in touch with anyone on the contacts page in this plan or make yourself known to a parish councillor, If you are short of time, there is a one page summary of key findings from the village wide questionnaire towards the front of the report and an action plan summary at the back, but we hope that most may like to read the village snapshot and the more detailed analysis with recommendations that comes in between.

  • Forge House a Covetable Setting
    Forge House A covetable setting... ... on the picturesque Oxford Canal ...A Grade II listed period house of substance A special Grade II Listed 17th Century village house set in private grounds running down to the picturesque Oxford Canal. Set in the unspoilt heart of Lower Heyford, Forge House is constructed of the rich coloured local Hornton stone, under a thatched roof and was refurbished some years ago and therefore offers new owners an opportunity to bring some 21st Century aesthetic to what is a very atmospheric building. On the ground floor the house offers a generous “farmhouse” style kitchen, which opens in to a glass roofed / green oak framed element of the building by Roderick James, which overlooks the terrace and walled garden. A former barn was incorporated in to the building and has been intelligently converted in to a wonderful vaulted drawing room, 3 further receptions are to found on this floor along with a Guest Bedroom Suite. Forge house is a property of enormous charm and also offers the flexibility and potential to create a house that suits your own needs. Sleeping quarters are characterful with one of the bedrooms having been created from a former hayloft, overlooking the vaulted drawing room. There are in all, 5 bedrooms arranged over the first floor with the potential to re-work the space planning and accommodate en suite facilities. Further guest accommodation has been created in wonderful style by architect, Roderick James, with the former chapel within the property’s grounds having had a green oak frame installed and a very chic cottage created as a result, with a vaulted sitting room, kitchen, bedroom and shower room completing the picture.
