OxfordshireTaynton is an unspoilt village in West Oxfordshire nestled either side of the Coombe Brook, a tributary of the Windrush, and sits about 1.5 miles from the historic and sought after town of Burford, just off the A40. To the west, the small town of Northleach is about 9.5 miles away, to the north is Stow-on-the Wold and to the east the University City of Oxford is about 21 miles away. London Paddington can be reached in 1 hour 20 minutes from Charlbury station, about 9 miles away and the A40 provides fast access east and west that links in with both the M40 and M5 motorways.

There are a variety of private schools in the area including St. Hugh’s, Cokethorpe, Hatherop Castle, Cothill, Radley, Cheltenham College, Marlborough, St. Edward’s and the Dragon School to name a few.

Ample sporting opportunities include golf courses at Burford, Witney, Lyneham, Frilford Heath and Naunton Downs. National hunt racing is held at Cheltenham, Newbury and Stratford-upon-Avon. From Taynton there is access to the National footpath and bridleway network.

The Long Barn Beautifully positioned on the edge of the village, The Long Barn is an exceptional Cotswold stone barn with a stone tile roof that was converted in the 1980’s. The property is entered through a impressive wooden door into a double height reception hall. The reception rooms are well proportioned and light. Of particular note is the very large drawing room positioned at the heart of the house that has views out over the gardens and beyond. Steps lead down to the dining room that adjoins the kitchen and in turn provides access to the two large ground floor en-suite bedrooms. Stairs lead up to the first floor comprising a large store room, bathroom and bedroom as well as access to the roof space above the drawing room.
