The main house extends to over 3000 sq. ft. and is finished to an exceptionally high standard throughout, boasting four bedrooms, four bathrooms and a wine cellar.

Complimented by beautiful landscaped gardens, townhouses such as this in lovely Cotswold villages rarely come to the market.

At the bottom of the gardens is a separate cottage - Muffety Cottage, pictured below - offering additional space for guests, staff or as a rental property. The cottage can be accessed independently, and also features extensive garaging and a rooftop terrace.

Burford is a thriving Cotswold market town with an extensive range of great facilities including public houses, restaurants, shops, churches and the Burford Garden Company. Charlbury, with direct trains to Paddington, is just nine miles away.
