Full Details

This versatile smallholding has a number of potential uses having areas of attractive woodland, pasture and useful range of outbuildings. Some of the woodland is used for camping at present but areas could also be cleared to provide further grassland. There is river frontage along the northern boundary to the Shill Brook which is a tributary to the Thames. Communications are excellent with the A420 3 miles south leading to Oxford and the Midlands to the north and Swindon and the M4 to the south. Witney and the M40 are about 5 miles north west.
The House
