8 bedroom house

Rye Farm sits at the end of a private track on the outskirts of the market town of Abingdon. Rye Farm itself was formally part of the Morrell's family estate and has been in the same family ownership for over 45 years. There has been some historical comment that the property lies on or near the palace where Anglo Saxon kings farmed, and indeed, the village of Culham was a very important place historically, enjoying special privileges throughout the middle ages partly because of its close connection with the Abingdon Abbey.

The house provides a great opportunity to refurbish an attractive period house with ancillary accommodation, stabling and land.

Parts of Rye Farmhouse are believed to date back to the 1600s and the property enjoys flexible accommodation with well-proportioned reception rooms, a self-contained flat, and a significant number of buildings, including a separate cottage. At the end of a long track, it is ideally situated for easy access to Abingdon, Oxford, London, and the Oxford Science Parks.

There are primary schools nearby in Abingdon and Clifton Hampden and a good number of highly regarded schools in Abingdon and Oxford, including Abingdon Prep, The Manor, Chandlings, Cothill, Our Lady's Abingdon, Europa School, St. Helens, Radley, St Edward's and Cokethorpe in nearby Witney. There are extensive footpaths and bridleways in the surrounding area with lovely Thameside walks to hand. The market town of Abingdon has a comprehensive choice for everyday shopping and sporting facilities with the city of Oxford within a short drive.
