Homes of this nature rarely come to the market, offering a rare opportunity to own a unique piece of Ramsden’s heritage.

Situation Just five miles from the bustling market town of Witney, Ramsden offers the feel of a tucked away village while remaining ideally placed for access to road and rail links via the A40, and nearby Charlbury and Oxford Parkway stations.

The village has a lively and welcoming community centred around its popular pub, The Royal Oak, and hosts a number of events throughout the year including the summer fête, Christmas Market, theatrical evenings, talks and tennis matches.

Ramsden also has a fascinating history, once known for pipe making and glove making, beautifully documented in a book created by local residents.

Witney provides excellent everyday amenities, with weekly and monthly markets, two large supermarkets and a good range of independent shops.

The nearby towns of Oxford, Woodstock and Chipping Norton offer further cultural, recreational and shopping opportunities.

Estelle Manor Country Club lies just three miles away, and Daylesford is 13 miles from the village.

There are several highly regarded schools within easy reach, both state and independent, including the well established independent schools in Oxford. Services: All mains services connected.
