Field farMNORTH LEIGH • OXFORDSHIRE

DescriptionSituated 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.

Location & Amenities The village of North Leigh is just a few miles away from the

historic town of Witney, and also the popular market town of

Burford which is known the ‘gateway to the Cotswolds’. 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.

THE BARNS & OUTBULDINGS The impressive, Grade II Listed main barn is

also a fully enclosed outdoor school.

school.

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.

vegetable garden. Terraces to both the

front and rear provide ideal spaces for

entertaining.

88 acres in total with 10 principal fields
