The village has a public house, parish church and village hall. Everyday requirements can be found at Hook Norton, Sibford Ferris and Bloxham. The market Town of Chipping Norton is nearby and offers extensive shopping and entertainment with an active local theatre and many restaurants and pubs. Comprehensive facilities can also be found in Banbury, Oxford and Stratford-upon-Avon as well as Cheltenham and Birmingham. The property is in easy reach of Soho Farmhouse and Daylesford.

There are excellent educational facilities in the area including public schools at Bloxham School and Tudor Hall with the Oxford and Cheltenham Schools within easy reach. Primary schools are at Great Tew and Hook Norton; senior schools at Bloxham, Chipping Norton and Banbury; preparatory schools include St John’s Priory (Banbury), Kitebrook and Winchester House.

Leisure and sporting activities in the area include Soho Farmhouse at Great Tew; Daylesford Organic Farmshop and Spa at Daylesford; golf at Tadmarton Heath, Chipping Norton, Oxford and Stratford-upon-Avon; racing at Cheltenham and Warwick.

Transport connections are good to the village of Wigginton with train services from Banbury to London/Marylebone (from 57 minutes) and from Charlbury to London/Paddington (from 75 minutes). Connections onto the M40 motorway are either at J10 (Ardley) for the south or J11 (Banbury) for the north.

OxpensThe drive to Oxpens starts on the edge of the village and drops down into stunning countryside. The owned land starts at the bottom of the first part of the drive with full rights reserved for access at all times for all vehicles. The drive then runs along the side of a beautiful meadow passing the old stone stock barn and into the wooded area by the side of the lake. Permission has been granted to remove the hedge line at the edge of the woodland area that will allow for open and expansive views over the countryside beyond.

PlanningFull planning approval has been granted Application No: 20/01933/F. Date of decision 19/05/2021

The conditions attached to the approval can be found on the Cherwell

District Council online planning register or can be obtained from the agents.

What has been granted is extraordinary given the pristine rural location. The proposed house sits within the wooded area at the head of a long and impressive approach by the side of and reaching out over the lake. The landscaping will allow a stunning outlook with views beyond. The house is large with open plan living spaces meticulously designed and thought through delivering a blend of practical living whilst maximising the incredible setting.

The 7 bedrooms suites are arranged over the ground and first floors divided into family and guest areas. The concept is to use a blend of traditional and contemporary building materials that enable the building to appear entirely at home within its setting yet allowing for maximum light and views with large glazed openings throughout.
