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...

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