Chadlington - Is a pleasant and popular Oxfordshire Cotswold Village set in the Evenlode Valley, in the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Situated between Chipping Norton (4 miles) and Burford (9 miles), Witney is about 9 miles away, with Oxford only 16 miles and Charlbury main line station (Paddington approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes) lies only 3 miles to the South. The M40 is available at Banbury (about 16 miles). The village itself has a General Store and Delicatessen, Family Butcher, Cafe and Convenience Store, Church and Primary School. Secondary education is available in Chipping Norton and there is a regular bus service to surrounding centres.

The Property - Chadlington is a large village but spread over a number of smaller hamlets or "ends", Green End being set at the south western edge of the village. The Barn is a wholly detached period stone barn set in its own grounds totalling about 1.86 acres which now has planning permission to convert to a large 3 bedroom individual dwelling with Accommodation over two floors. It has the potential to create a truly delightful rural dwelling with peaceful views towards the village. In addition there is a separate pasture Paddock, also of about 1.86 acres and set on the opposite side of the road. It is available as a separate lot, and is marked as "Lot 2" by a sign on the gateway.

Directions - From Chipping Norton, take the A361 Burford Road before taking a left turn signposted to Chadlington. Continue to the village of Chadlington, and at the T junction turn right onto Bull Hill. Continue ahead out to the edge of the village where the property will be found on the left hand side as identified by a Tayler and Fletcher 'For Sale' board. NB The entrance gateway to the site is a few metres along the lane which turns off to the left just past the board.

The Barn - This detached period stone barn has been in the ownership of the Vendors' family for many years, and is thought to have originally been part of the local Sarsden Estate. It has more recently used for general storage but in 2020 the vendors obtained consent to convert the property into a delightful country home, and following the end of a tenancy of the adjacent former Orchard, the opportunity has been taken to offer both for sale, as a whole, with full vacant possession.

Planning Consent No 20/00738/Ful - West Oxfordshire District Council granted permission on 15th June 2020 for "Conversion of Barn to Dwelling and associated works" in accordance with a scheme drawn up by James Mackintosh, Architect, of Chipping Norton. This is a Full consent granted subject to a number of conditions set out in the Consent document. Extracts from the approved Plans are attached for information and the full Document can be downloaded from West Oxfordshire District Council's Planning database at
The Proposed Dwelling - The building is a simple rectangle measuring about 16.35m (53' 8") x 5.60m (18' 4") and the height allows accommodation to be created on two floors, the First Floor being partly under roofslopes. The building has double full height wooden doors facing to the south east, and the design allows for the re-opening of several former openings to create well lit living spaces. The building is set privately in its own grounds, and in addition the adjacent former Orchard, which adjoins the Barn to the northwest and northeast, creates a delightful edge of village setting.
