Shambolic farmhouse J10 M40 family/child friendly

Unusual rambling Grade II listed farmhouse. Rural location but ideal access by road for London, Oxford, Northampton or Birmingham: half a mile from junction 10 of M40. Public transport poor, but 5 miles away is Bicester with excellent rail links to London and buses to Oxford.

Huge garden with plenty of seating areas (and opportunities for gardening!). Plenty of off-road parking.

We have 2 dogs (whippets) - leave your bedroom door open and one or more will be in your bed. No cats allowed - one resident is allergic.

Cooking is on an Aga. Food storage in flagstone-floored cellar. There are two washing machines, and clothes drying is on either a Dutch airer over the Aga, or clothes lines in the garden.

Fast fibre broadband, dust bunnies and dog hair are included...

Please note that we are sponsoring some Ukrainian refugees who will be joining the household shortly - there will then be teenagers in the house.

SECURITY DEPOSIT:
£600 if favourable references are available from both employer and previous landlord, or £900 if only one good reference available.

Couples and/or family considered (cost dependent on circumstances, but normally £950 for a couple)

ROOM DETAILS:
Double room en suite (toilet and shower).

Full of character, as is the rest of house, complete with fireplace (not working), window seat and beams.

Windows looking onto the courtyard and the village street.

There are two slightly strange cupboards built into the thickness of the walls (one small high cupboard over the fireplace, and the other large one under the stairs contains the light for an internal stained glass window).

En suite is up a couple of steps, and includes an airing cupboard with hot water tank, keeping it nice and cosy!
