Alvescot is a charming village. Nestled amidst the picturesque countryside, this idyllic village is a perfect blend of history, natural beauty and a close-knit community that supports a church, a village hall with recreation ground with tennis court and the ever-popular pub, The Plough Inn.

The community spirit in Alvescot is strong, with various events and activities bringing residents together throughout the year. The village hosts an annual summer fete, where locals and visitors enjoy traditional games, food, and live entertainment.

The ancient market town of Bampton lies just south of the Cotswolds which is sometimes described as a town, because it used to be a market town until the 19th century. Bampton is now officially designated a village but has both Town and Village Halls.

A claim to fame for Bampton is its association with the popular television series ‘Downton Abbey’. The village was used as the filming location for the fictional village of Downton in the series, and many of its landmarks, including St. Mary’s Church and the village green, have become iconic for fans of the show.

The larger, and more widely known Burford is only 6 miles north. The famous High Street sweeps downhill towards the River Windrush, medieval bridge and impressive church. Both sides of the street are flanked by an unbroken line of historic houses and shops.

With little having changed over the centuries, Burford is popular with visitors, both for its beauty and history but also for its shopping and wide variety of places to eat, with a number of restaurants, pubs and teashops.

Burford is equidistant between the popular towns of Cheltenham and Oxford, both offering extensive shopping, dining options, pubs and facilities.

There are a number of state and private schools in the area, most notably; St Hugh’s, Pinewood and Burford School to name just three.

Road communications are fantastic to the A40 which in turn provides access the M40 to London, and the M5 to the west.
