Basset Farm, OX25

Perched on the top of a hill, overlooking the valley, Basset Farm covers 380 acres of grass and arable land including wheat and barley fields.

A set of charming tumbledown farm buildings are found within the farmyard, including barns and stable. The blend of stone walls, old brickwork and timber beams, with original features and fittings still in place, offer plenty of rustic backdrops and textures both inside and out.

As a working farm, Basset Farm also offers further barns, cattle sheds, stabling, hay stores and a workshop, which are still in use today and available to hire.
