It is
centuries old and reputed to be one of the oldest buildings in Banbury.
Originally an old farmhouse built mainly of the local Horton Stone, it is of
particular interest to overseas visitors.
The House
has charm and character with numerous fireplaces, exposed timbers and beams,
stone flooring and wood panelling. The site itself is believed to date back to
the 12th Century and is steeped in history.
Previous
owners, we understand, include The Bishop of Lincoln, The Reverend Risley
Cotton and George Washington's nephew. Indeed, George Washington's house,
Sulgrave Manor is only a few miles away.
We are
situated on the edge of the town, a few minutes walk from the centre, where you
can find shops, pubs, restaurants and the Castle Quay shopping centre. This is
a great location, making an ideal base for exploring the local areas, such as
the City of Oxford with its dreaming spires (direct trains into Oxford approx
20 mins.), and the Cotswolds, including the delightful towns of Chipping
Norton, Burford, Moreton-in-Marsh and Bourton-on-the-Water.
