• The dining room has an adjacent library area.
• The sitting room is dual aspect with French doors to the terrace and garden, and a feature stone fireplace with open fire.

Situation
Horley is a pretty ironstone north Oxfordshire village set in attractive undulating countryside, close to the Warwickshire borders, with Conservation status. It has a thriving active local community with a public house, popular cricket club, parish church and provides easy access to Banbury. There are several village events throughout the year, so plenty for all of the family to get involved with.
In the adjacent village of Hornton there is a well-regarded primary school with options also in Shenington and North Newington. There are a wide range of other excellent state, grammar and private schools in the area, including Tudor Hall (girls), Bloxham (co-ed), Kings High (girls), Warwick (boys). Preparatory schools include St Johns' Priory (Banbury), Winchester House (Brackley) and Beachborough (Westbury).
Banbury benefits from a wide range of leisure and shopping facilities together with mainline train services to London Marylebone (approx. 54 mins), and Birmingham, and access to the M40 at J11.
