A stone barn conversion occupying a wonderful elevated position with stunning views on the edge of the Cotswold area of outstanding natural beauty between Chipping Norton and Shipston on Stour.
Situation - Ascott is a very attractive and highly sought after rural hamlet situated within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, in the Warwickshire countryside adjacent to the Oxfordshire border. It is part of the parish of the adjacent village of Whichford, but falls outside the conservation area, and is made up of predominantly period stone properties. The neighbouring village of Whichford has a public house and village church and Long Compton, also nearby, has a post office/ village shop and a primary school. Wyatt’s Farm Shop is within 3 miles. The local market towns of Shipston-on-Stour, Chipping Norton, Moreton-in-Marsh and Banbury are convenient for everyday requirements, whilst Stratford-upon-Avon and the City of Oxford can be easily reached for more comprehensive shopping and cultural opportunities. Soho Farmhouse and Daylesford are both within 10 miles and there are many fine dining pubs in the area. Secondary education is at Chipping Norton, Shipston-on-Stour, King Edward VI (boys) and Grammar School (girls), both Stratford[1]upon-Avon. Preparatory school at Kitebrook, private schools at Warwick, Bloxham, Sibford, Tudor Hall (girls) and Kingham Hill. Mainline railway stations at Banbury (11 miles) to London Marylebone (from 60 minutes) and Kingham (11 miles) to London Paddington (from 83 minutes) . Access to the M40 to London and Birmingham (J11) at Banbury. Local leisure activities include golf at Tadmarton and Chipping Norton; racing at Stratford-upon-Avon, Cheltenham and Warwick; theatre at Stratford-upon-Avon, Oxford and Chipping Norton, with an extensive network of footpath and bridleways locally
