Cowleas Barn will be an extraordinary house created out of the grounds of a period house on the edge of the village of Cuddington. The house has been cleverly and thoughtfully designed; Rectory Homes are now offering the next owner the opportunity to build out this once-in-a-lifetime house.

The architecture is contemporary and takes advantage of the fine views over neighbouring fields. The design is flexible, and the accommodation layout can be amended if required. The present layout comprises a large sitting room with a balcony to the first floor enjoying views over open countryside; this could be converted to a wonderful principal bedroom if required. There are five bedrooms, including two suites planned in the accommodation, plus six reception areas, including an impressive kitchen/breakfast room and a gym.

Planning application number: 20/00262/APP (Aylesbury Vale District Council)


The house sits on the edge of the village of Cuddington, a small, highly desirable village that has excellent facilities, including a local school, a church, a village hall, and a village shop. It also counts a post office, a hairdresser, and an occasional cinema, amongst other amenities.

Nearby, within easy reach, is the market town of Thame which has a wider range of facilities, including supermarkets and Haddenham and Thame railway station, which offers a fast railway service (from 36 minutes) into London Marylebone.

The M40 Junction 7 is also reached within an easy drive. Amenities generally in the area are excellent, with golf at The Oxfordshire Golf Hotel & Spa, fine dining at Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, Silverstone racing circuit within an hour, and the city of Oxford approximately 30 minutes.

Schooling is excellent in the area with close-to-hand Ashfold School in Dorton, Aylesbury Grammar School, and also the highly rated schools in Oxford, including Magdalen College School, Summer Fields School, Radley College, Headington School and Oxford High School, amongst many others.

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
