6 Pitchcott Hill Farm House Pitchcott Hill Farm House is an attractive stone and brick farm house lying at the end of a tree lined driveway with commanding views over the surrounding countryside. The property has been in the family for over 60 years and offers huge potential with over 3,950 sq. ft. of courtyard buildings. Currently arranged in two parts, a small annexe adjoins the main house. To the west of the house lies the attractive formal courtyard of buildings which include; a range of stables and ancillary equestrian facilities with wash box area, feed room, tackroom and toilet/shower room. Garaging and machinery stores also sit to the west of the property.

9 The Buildings Further to the traditional courtyard are two Atcost style agricultural buildings which comprise a concrete block and Yorkshire boarding with a concrete fibre cement roof structure totalling 9,482 sq. ft. The buildings have concrete floors and have recently been used for general storage and ancillary equestrian purposes. One building is partially open sided with some stable door style windows and is internally open leading directly into the adjacent building. The second building is split into two parts, the first a general storage area and the second has until recently, been used for livestock housing with large steel gates at either end. The buildings would lend themselves to a variery of uses including agricultural or other enterprises, subject to the necessary planning consents being gained. The Land Situated within a ring fenced block to the rear of the main house the land extends to around 19 acres of gently rolling organic pastureland which is split into manageable parcels and mostly bordered by mature hedgerows. A pond and copse creates habitat and amenity value on the holding. The land has in recent years been used in conjunction with the equestrian enterprise and a small range of Cross Country style fences are present in one of the fields. The Agricultural Land Classification describes the land as mostly Grade III with some Grade II areas towards the Northern end of the farm. The soils at Pitchcott can be described as mainly fine loamy over clayey soils with areas of silty soils from the Denchworth and Evesham series. Further adjoining pasture land is available by separate negotiation, extending to 130 acres.
