Bampton is a thriving, attractive and historic village containing a wealth of beautiful Cotswold stone properties.

The market towns of Witney, Faringdon and Burford are all within a short distance and provide a broader selection of facilities.

Dating back to the Iron Age, the village of Bampton is one of the oldest settlements in England. In the early Middle Ages much of its wealth was built on wool, making it home to many beautiful buildings of architectural interest that still stand today. For centuries, it has been famed as a centre for Morris Dancing, and more recently, Bampton is also known as the location of Downton Village, in the television series, Downton Abbey.

The A40 and A420 provide easy access to Oxford, the M40 and the national motorway network. A rail link from Oxford to London Paddington takes under 60 minutes; a further train service runs from Didcot to Paddington in approximately 40 minutes. Golf courses can be found at Burford, Buckland, Frilford and Oxford and racing at Cheltenham and Newbury.

The area is well known for attractive open countryside and lovely walks along a network of footpaths and bridleways including the Thames Footpath. With its proximity to a selection of fantastic schools, including St Peters, Burford High, Hatherop Castle, St Hughs, Cokethorpe, The Dragon, St Edwards, Radley College and Oxford High School, the area is particularly sought-after.
