Property overview


This thatched Grade II listed barn conversion was developed around 40 years ago with this two-bedroom
cottage style house situated in the delightful village of Swalcliffe, approximately 7 miles outside Banbury
to the West side.

Swalcliffe is a small village at the edge of the Cotswolds located between Banbury and Shipston-on-Stour.
The village has a significant conservation area and contains many connections with Roman and Iron Age
history.

The development of The Tithings sits behind a C1400 tithe barn and much of the site are buildings
originating from barns connected with that site. The village is serviced by the Stags Head public house
serving food and with accommodation. The village has a private school, Swalcliffe Park School, providing
schooling for Autistic 11–19-year-olds. The village has many clubs and organisations.

Wykham Cottage comprises a two bedroom courtyard property sitting amongst a variety of courtyard
barns, providing differing accommodation. The property has a garage in a garage block and is approached
via a communal private road and a large shingled courtyard area which provides parking to all of the
properties in a very spacious setting. The property joins with the others in a Service Charge arrangement
that operates to run the upkeep of the communal areas and services.
