We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Delightful barn conversion, in unspoilt Cotswold village with pub, about 4.5 miles from Charlbury Station Description Situated in a conservation area of the village, Swallows Barn is understood to have been converted in 1975.
Not listed, and constructed of stone beneath a pitched tile roof, the property has been a much-loved family home for the past forty years.
Entered through wooden five bar gate to off street parking, a stone enclosed porchway has internal double doors opening to the sitting room.
With exposed stone walls there is an impressive fireplace with stone mantle and wood burning stove.
A feature split staircase rises to the first floor, and double doors lead to the dining room, making it ideal for entertaining.
Beyond the dining room, the kitchen, with gas fired Aga and separate electric oven has a door with external access to the parking area, and steps rise to the spacious utility room which doubles as rear hallway with cloakroom and pretty stable door to the garden.
On the first floor the principal bedroom has an ensuite shower room and there are three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
To the rear of the property there is an attached double garage and a useful workshop with woodburning stove, which is also attached to neighbouring barn.
Ideal as they stand, they also offer scope for alternative uses, subject to relevant consents and depending on needs.
To the front of the workshop is a pretty garden, with terrace area which is screened with hedging. There is a separate lean to log store.
In need of some updating, Swallows Barn presents a fabulous opportunity for its next custodians to make their mark on the property and enjoy the village life. Location Distances & Times approx..
