Hampton Poyle, Kidlington, Oxfordshire, OX5

Field Barn Farm presents a rare opportunity to acquire a renovated period farmhouse set within approximately 13.07 acres (5.29 hectares) of attractive pastureland and gardens in a highly private and rural setting on the edge of Oxford. Approached via a long private driveway and surrounded by its own land, the property enjoys far-reaching views across open countryside and an exceptional sense of seclusion.

The farmhouse has been sympathetically modernised to provide comfortable family accommodation while retaining its period character and charm. Adjoining the house is an impressive traditional stone barn, creating an attractive courtyard setting alongside an extensive range of stabling, agricultural buildings and ancillary outbuildings. A previous planning consent for the residential conversion of the attached stone barn to provide an extensive open plan kitchen/living space and four first floor bedrooms has now lapsed (application: 17/01560/F, dated 28th July 17), but offers scope to enlarge the residential accommodation and along with the significant collection of buildings offers flexibility for equestrian, lifestyle, storage or alternative uses, subject to the necessary consents.

Further improvements include a useful three-bay Dutch barn together with a number of former agricultural buildings, which provide additional ancillary accommodation and storage. The mature pastureland is located to the north and south of the farmhouse and extends to 10.47 acres. It is dvided into two manageable grazing paddocks and bordered by established trees, mature hedgerows and post and wire fencing. Set over a level topography. part of the land has ridge and furrow features.

Altogether, Field Barn Farm presents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a substantial country property with an extensive range of traditional and modern outbuildings, surrounded by its own land in a highly accessible Oxfordshire location.
