Vendor Insight Having lived in this beautiful property at the heart of this thriving village community, the current owners’ recall enjoying the private location, traditional features and views of the garden. “The property has so many traditional features. We particularly like the look of the exterior of the house and inside the warmth of the inglenook fireplace,” comment the owners. “The view from the sitting room into the garden is lovely, particularly on a sunny day. To the front of the house is a field surrounded by trees where we have occasional visits from wildlife including deer and foxes.” Sitting in a prime location, Holly Barn is only three miles from the market town of Banbury where you will find an abundance of shops and restaurants.
