DESCRIPTION Taylers Farmhouse is a wonderfully spacious Grade II Listed village property, offering versatile family accommodation over three floors. A handsome building, it offers well proportioned, bright rooms which afford a good deal of flexibility. In addition, there are extensive barns and outbuildings, in excellent condition, which lend themselves to a variety of uses. Of particular interest is the unusual and fascinating barrelled underground chamber. The gardens, to the front and rear of the property, are both mature and private. SITUATION AND LOCATION Aldsworth is an attractive unspoilt Cotswold village, which is situated between the historic market towns of Burford and Cirencester both offering excellent shopping facilities including banks, supermarkets, schools and leisure facilities. The larger centres of Oxford and Cheltenham offer more comprehensive leisure, cultural and shopping facilities. The village itself benefits from an excellent village pub and a visiting post office. The Church, St Bartholomew, is a fine example of late Norman architecture. It is set slightly away from the centre of the village. Most of the houses in Aldsworth are built of Cotswold stone, dating from the 18th & 19th Century, when Bibury Racecourse was in use. The road and rail communications are excellent with mainline railway stations at Oxford Parkway (24 miles), Charlbury (15 miles), Kemble (14 miles) and Swindon (20 miles) providing frequent and regular commuter services to London (Paddington/ Marylebone). The A40 (about 4 miles north) provides good access to Oxford and the M40 to London and Birmingham. London Heathrow, Birmingham and Bristol airports are all within an hour and a half.

4 AMENITIES The Cotswolds are renowned for country pursuits and there are many enjoyable walks in the area together with an extensive network of footpaths and bridleways with excellent riding.
