A Warwickshire nest built on a site which was utilised in the medieval era has come on the market. And while the house is a historical haven, the equestrian facilities are certainly with the times.
Church House, located on Tysoe Road in the small village of Oxhill on the northern edge of the Cotswolds, was once occupied by a monastery during the medieval times. As a result the house is believed to date back to the 12th century, with additions being made in the 16th and 17th centuries.
The property is well located for both London and Birmingham with intercity rail from Banbury to London.
Local equestrian centres with a range of competitions on offer include: Swallowfield EC (25.5 miles), Valley Farm EC (10 miles) and High Cross EC (35 miles).
If you fancy point-to-point racing, local fixtures take place at Mollington Horse Races (12 miles).
Cross-country courses can be found at 15 minute drive away at Whitfield Farm Equestrian (7 miles) or a bit further south at Lyneham Heath (20 miles).
The well-known Onley Grounds Equestrian Centre is 25 miles away and hosts a range of show jumping, dressage and showing events throughout the season.
Warwickshire College with its plush facilities and full events calender is just under 20 miles from the doorstep.
If you like to show, sign up to BSPS Area 6 or if hunting is the sport for you, head out with the Warwickshire Hunt or the Croome and West Warwickshire Foxhounds.
Offered for sale by Savills, the property is priced at a tidy £1.7m.
