SITUATION

The Property sits in a very attractive, hidden part of the village on The Causeway which is nearly a mile long and is thought to date back to the middle of the 13th century. It houses many fine and notable Grade II listed buildings.

Steventon is one of Oxfordshire’s prime villages with a large village green, cricket ground and has a thriving community with a village shop, bakery, primary school, and 14th century church. The village is located approximately 4 miles south of Abingdon which offers a wide range of shops and services as well as the river.

Didcot Parkway is also about 4 miles away connecting to London Paddington in approx. 45 minutes. The nearby A34 provides an easy connection to Oxford to the north and to Newbury and the M4 to the south. Schooling in the area is also excellent with a wide range of state and private schools to include Abingdon School, Our Ladies, The Manor Prep School and the school of St Helen and St Catherine, all of which are in Abingdon and St Birinus and Didcot Girls School, both in Didcot.

The area is particularly sought-after due to its proximity to Oxford, Abingdon, and Didcot. The house is also ideally situated for easy access to Harwell and Culham Science Parks.
