John D Wood & Co. is selling an unconverted agricultural barn in around 42 acres with planning permission to create a spacious three bedroom state of the art family home barn in a rural spot just south of Little Tew, one of the most beautiful parts of Oxfordshire, within one mile of the newly opened Soho Farmhouse.

The plans for the barn conversion include an open plan kitchen, dining, drawing room, TV room, study, WC, boot room, utility and boiler room on the ground floor and three en-suite bedrooms on the first floor, two with dressing rooms.  The sale include two grass paddocks of around 42 acres divided by the private driveway, ideal for horses.

On site are a pair of modern agricultural buildings including a five bay agricultural building (5,023ft2) of steel framed construction with concrete walling and Yorkshire boarding.  The Planning Permission has been granted to convert part of the existing building into a residential dwelling with the smaller of the two barns on site to be demolished prior to occupation. The proposed dwelling has a gross external area of 610m3 (6,567 square foot).

Little Tew is an exceptionally pretty village with thatched cottages and a charming village pub, The Falklands Arms.  It is just over 4 miles to the popular market town of Chipping Norton with its good schools and just 10 miles to Banbury and 18.5 miles to Oxford.  

Nicholas Hextall, Director of John D Wood & Co.'s Agricultural Department which is selling Faraway Barn, comments: “The sale of Faraway Barn provides a perfect opportunity for a home owner to build their ideal country property, set in a beautiful rural landscape in a very popular village and also within an easy walk or bike ride of Soho Farmhouse. Members here have use of some incredible facilities, such as a beautiful indoor/outdoor swimming pool, gym, spa, mini golf, horse-riding, a kids club, tennis as well as several restaurants, a pub and a bar whilst visitors can also dine here and shop at the deli. 

“I can imagine we will get interest from members of Soho Farmhouse wanting to live close by to take full advantage of the facilities, as well as having the chance to build a property with their own specification.”

Faraway Barn is for sale through John D Wood & Co.'s Oxford Agricultural office.  Tel: 01865 511215 with a guide price of £1,250,000
