OVERVIEW

Welcome to Cleveland Farm Barns.  This exclusive development on the edge of the peaceful village of Longcot, Oxfordshire is the result of the careful restoration of former farm buildings, transforming them into four unique homes which seamlessly blend into their surroundings.  Carefully designed to enhance and blend in with the surrounding landscape, Cleveland Farm Barns offer the best of both worlds:  luxurious modern living in homes that retain all the charm and character of the original agricultural buildings that once occupied this former farm.

Cleveland Farm Barns have been designed by RIBA Award-winning architects A Bear & Ball, and constructed by local developer RJAY Developments Ltd.  Understated elegance, beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces, contemporary luxury and sustainability are hallmarks of the project, due for completion in early 2024.

The development at Cleveland Farm Barns has been designed with a sensitive approach to the surrounding countryside and careful eye for detail, using natural timber materials, blended with modern zinc, steel and glass to create a truly unique finish.  

With driveway, parking and private garden for each home, every aspect of design and construction has been carefully considered throughout the development. The exceptional quality continues in the interiors with the highest-quality fixtures, fittings and interior specifications.

Each barn has been designed to be energy efficient with the latest Airsource Heat Pump heating technology and high insulation standards.

The Dutch Barn

Discreetly positioned at the end of the development, The Dutch Barn is accessed through a gated entrance onto a private driveway and enjoys a tranquil location with spectacular views over open countryside.

Extending to circa 4000 square feet, this 4/5 bedroom home is the result of a stylish blend of original features including soaring vaulted ceilings and free-flowing open spaces with modern, high-specification fixtures and fittings.

Outside, terraces off the main living space and a large, glass-balustraded balcony off the principal bedroom suite make the most of the beautiful surroundings, whilst manicured gardens and spacious terraces provide space to entertain friends in style and for children to play.

A SUBLIME LOCATION

Longcot is picture-perfect location with excellent commuter activity.  It’s a peaceful haven but definitely not remote.  Drive just a mile to reach the A420 with direct access to Oxford (21 miles) and Swindon (9 miles) – the latter has mainline services to London Paddington, Wales and the South West.

A lively and friendly village, Longcot has a thriving community, boosted recently by the opening of a new village hub within St Mary’s Church, with activities ranging from coffee mornings and pilates to a toddler club and concerts.

Groceries can be picked up from the village shop and Post Office in nearby Uffington, and there’s a Co-Op supermarket in Shrivenham, five minutes away.  Supermarkets including Waitrose and Tesco are found in nearby Faringdon.

There’s a superb choice of schools in the area.  Longcot and Fernham CE Primary school is rated ‘Outstanding’, and leading independent schools Pinewood and St Hughs are just a few minutes away by car.  Hatherop Castle, Rendcomb College, Dauntseys and St Mary’s Calne are also easily accessible from the village.

The highly rated village pub, The King and Queen is just a short walk away and serves a menu of classic dishes alongside a choice of delicious tapas (the chef is Spanish!).  The sunny pub garden is a great place to relax with a drink or meal in the summer months.

Gorgeous countryside walks are a pleasure amid the rural bliss of the Longcot area.  Nearby White Horse Hill and Waylands Smithy offer some fantastic views, or there’s beautiful Buscot Park or pretty Coleshill village to visit.  In spring, Badbury Clumps are swathed with bluebells.
