Oxfordshire — £12,500,000

A farm in the Cotswolds, not far from Chipping Norton, that is a ‘rare opportunity to create a private amenity estate’, according to the agents.

There is a traditional farmhouse at the heart, as well as a range of cottages and converted barns, as well as potential for more to be done. And if you don’t want the entire 461 acres, the vendors are happy to split this in to lots.
