Self Catering Historical House for hire in Oxford
Looking for a self catering house near Oxford?
This historical house is set in the heart of a market town near Oxford. Grade II listed, it is steeped in history dating back to the 15th Century. The house offers guests a wonderful experience that captures the history of this famous market town in truly magnificent surroundings.
Examples of the Hall's secrets that lie waiting to be discovered include the vestiges of ornamental paintings that are still to be found on one of the doors in the attic and the chimney breast of the master bedroom. The Hall has undergone some restoration work and today is presented to a fabulous standard. This stunning house is the ultimate holiday home experience that is, in our opinion, absolutely perfect for large groups. The city centre of Oxford is about 40 minutes drive away.
