Overview

The Byre is a beautifully converted one-bedroom barn tucked away in the picturesque village of Mollington, Oxfordshire, offering a wonderfully characterful retreat with all the comforts of home. Nestled within the grounds of a traditional farmstead on Church Road, this cosy cottage combines original period charm — exposed brick walls, oak beams and a classic stable-style front door — with thoughtfully updated, contemporary interiors.

Inside, the accommodation has a warm, welcoming feel throughout. The bright living room features comfortable sofas, a flat-screen TV and charming farmyard-inspired artwork, while a separate well-equipped kitchen with colourful mosaic tiling and terracotta floors provides everything needed for self-catering. The double bedroom sits beneath original oak beams and is dressed with quality linen and hotel-style towels, with an en-suite shower room finished in crisp white with a decorative tile border.

Outside, a private gravel courtyard and seating area with table, chairs and parasol make for a lovely spot to relax in fine weather, enclosed by traditional stone walls.

Located just minutes from Banbury and with straightforward access to the M40, The Byre is ideally placed for both leisure guests exploring the north Oxfordshire countryside and the Cotswolds, and professionals or contractors working in the wider area.

A characterful countryside retreat, full of charm and perfectly placed for work or leisure.
