ENJOYING A SEMI-RURAL LOCATION ON THE EDGE OF EYNSHAM VILLAGE MID-WAY BETWEEN OXFORD & THE POPULAR MARKET TOWN OF WITNEY. This single storey Conversion has very flexible 3-4 Bedroom accommodation that includes a self-contained 1 Bedroom Granny Flat/Annex. This has been designed to easily form part of the main house or enjoy complete independence as a very comfortable 1 Bedroom unit for either an elderly relative/older teenager or a private tenant to earn a rental income. The land and outside space is a particular feature and ideal for those with an equestrian interest. There is a sizeable private garden for the family along with two fenced paddocks. A two-bay stable block complete with electricity and water connection sits between the paddocks with a tack room and field store. The total plot extends to around 2 acres and the property is a registered smallholding. A former garage has been converted into a most useful outside Utility/Work Room with Wet Room. This is currently used for the owner's dog day-care business but could be equally suitable as a Home Office/Studio for those working from home or even further Annex accommodation. The Long Barn really does offer many different lifestyle options. The accommodation briefly comprises Sitting Room with imposing fireplace and exposed ceiling timbers, Kitchen, 3 Bedrooms, Study/Nursery and Bathroom. The Annexe can be accessed from the property or driveway and consists of an open plan L-Shaped Kitchen/Sitting Room, modern uPVC Conservatory and 1 Bedroom with En-Suite Shower.

Whilst having a very rural feel and outlook the property is by no means isolated and has many amenities on its doorstep. This is in fact an ideal location from which to run a business from home due to the proximity of the A40 and ease of access to other road networks. Eynsham is a sought after village with an excellent range of local facilities and a fantastic daily bus service into both Oxford and Witney, some 6 and 4 miles respectively. Shops in the village include a Co-op and Spar, Butcher, Bread shop, Greengrocer, Off-Licence, Post Office, Electrical shop, Library, modern Health Centre, Hairdressers/Barber, and a handful of traditional pubs.
