A two bedroom characterful cottage benefitting from a large rear garden, garage and off road parking with planning permission to create a two storey extension to the rear
Situation - Swalcliffe is a small, attractive conservation village situated in rolling north Oxfordshire countryside on the edge of the Cotswolds. The village is principally made up of period ironstone houses and cottages with the church of St Peter & St Paul, a refurbished village hall, a magnificent Grade I listed Tithe Barn (now a museum) and a popular traditional inn dating from 16th century, serving food. A village store and post office are close by in Sibford Ferris, or the nearby village of Bloxham. More extensive facilities can be found at Banbury, Chipping Norton, Shipston-on-Stour, Stratford-upon-Avon and Oxford.
Fast line train service from Banbury to London (Marylebone from 57 minutes) and to Birmingham and the North. Connection to the M40 motorway at Junction 11 (Banbury 7 miles).
