Completing the accommodation is a stylish bathroom featuring both a freestanding bath and a separate walk-in shower, offering choice at the start or end of the day.

Outside, the multi-tiered garden unfolds across lawned and patio areas, with seating arranged to make the most of the surroundings.

A swing and outdoor furniture add to the appeal, creating pleasant spots to spend time outdoors with family or a four-legged companion.

Beyond Hornton, explore nearby Banbury and discover Banbury Museum & Gallery, the historic Banbury Cross, and People's Park.
