The accommodation is arranged over three floors and is presented in excellent order throughout, perfectly marrying a wealth of superb period features including flagstone floors, substantial timbers, a variety of fireplaces and exposed stone walls with modern convenience and comfort. A sturdy oak front door with eight carved panels opens to a well-proportioned dining room which is perfect for family gatherings and formal dining. There is a substantial fireplace with wood burning stove. Adjacent to the dining room is the drawing room with a simple stone fireplace housing a wood burning stove. Two large casement windows allow light in. The contemporary and stylish kitchen is spacious and open with areas for dining and relaxing. An airy layout allows both functionality and social interaction. (truncated)

SITUATION

Burford is a picturesque Cotswold market town with many historical connections. Situated on the Oxfordshire/Gloucestershire border and known as the The Gateway to the Cotswolds, it offers a good range of hotels, pubs, restaurants and cafes, plus a thriving blend of independent specialist food, fashion, art galleries, craft and antiques shops. State and private schooling in the area is outstanding, with schools in Burford, Bourton-on-the-Water, Witney, Kingham and Cokethorpe. High Street chains haven't made a significant impression on Burford, which adds to its uniqueness and helps make it an enduring place to live, work and visit. The town nestles in the Windrush Valley surrounded by beautiful countryside, yet is within easy reach of Oxford and Cheltenham, both of which provide the main cultural and shopping facilities for the area. There are good road communications to London via the A40/M40 and a train service from Charlbury to London-Paddington.
