Company information

We like to sit in the grounds and take in the surroundings. Peaceful and tranquil to watch the world go by. Watching the chickens and ducks roam the farm makes it feel even more secluded

The Property is set in beautiful grounds and is on the borders or Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. Close to amenities but feels like a million miles away from everything.

Neighbourhood information
