The property is in the idyllic Cotswolds village of Little Tew. Situated between Banbury and Chipping Norton, the village is a small community with plenty of character properties, dating from the 17th century, hued out of the unmistakeable Hornton stone and surrounded by unspoilt rolling countryside. The village has a parish church, while neighbouring Great Tew has a popular pub – The Falkland Arms, a village shop with a café and an outstanding rated primary school. For further amenities, the bustling towns of Chipping Norton and Banbury are five and nine miles away respectively. There is a good choice of schooling in the area, with the Bloxham and Tudor Hall independent schools nearby, as well as various strong state schools. The area is well connected for transport, with the M40 11 miles away and a mainline station at Charlbury (1 hour 20 minutes to London Paddington).
