The Old Vicarage is situated in the rural and highly desirable hamlet of Steeple Barton, located on the edge of the Cotswolds.
In medieval times there was a sizeable settlement near Steeple Barton, however, the population moved over time, to a more central part of the area, being the nearby village of Middle Barton - which offers a primary school, restaurant, village shop and post office. The Bartons are also well located from being a short drive from the world-renowned private members club Soho Farmhouse and a 15 minute drive to Bicester Designer Outlet Village. The local area is also host to Daylesford Organic, Diddly Squat Farm, the music festivals of Wilderness and Feastival, to name but a few attractions that make this a desirable location for all to enjoy.
Woodstock and Chipping Norton provide everyday shopping facilities, whilst Banbury and Oxford have more extensive recreational and shopping amenities. There is excellent schooling in the area including Tudor Hall, Bloxham, Kitebrook, The Dragon, Cothill, Summer Fields, St Edwards, Oxford High, Radley and Stowe.
Commuter links can be accessed to London and Birmingham via Junction 10 of the M40 (approx. 9 miles), together with rail links from Lower Heyford and Oxford Parkway to London Paddington and Bicester to Marylebone, London.
