Set around the River Glyme and surrounded by stunning Glyme Valley countryside, Wootton (by Woodstock) has a thriving community spirit and a number of day-to-day amenities. The market town of Woodstock offers comprehensive high street and more extensive shopping, service, leisure and educational facilities. Oxford, Bicester and Banbury all provide more extensive amenities. Communications links are excellent: the A44 and M40 connect to major regional centres and the motorway network, Tackley station offers regular services to Oxford, Banbury and London. Locally there is good access to a number of footpaths and bridleways.

The land has historically been used for livestock grazing and is a mix of native grassland species, classified as Grade 3 and 4 soils. The land to the north of Stratford Lane comprises two separate areas of fenced, managed woodland, expansive mixed grazing, established hedgerows and bank access to the River Glyme. To the south of Stratford Lane, the land follows the river on both sides and is more rolling in nature. Both areas of land have gated vehicular access from the road. The land has historically been grazed by cattle on a grazing agreement. There is no grazing agreement currently in place.

The land is well suited to livestock grazing and the river has potential for angling; the River Glyme is a tributary of the Evenlode and later feeds into the ornamental lakes of Blenheim Palace. It is renowned for its mayfly hatch and has produced specimen trout over the years.

There are a good number of wildflowers such as orchids and cowslips. Fauna includes badgers, deer, swans, egrets, herons and there is also a pond. The area is ideal for promoting biodiversity. A footpath crosses the land, connecting Stratford Lane to Wootton village and the wider network of footpaths and bridleways.

The land has been grazed regularly by cattle owned by a local farmer. This was covered by 10 month grazing agreements; there is no grazing agreement in place at the moment. There are no ongoing commitments.

The woodland extends to approximately 9.78 acres (3.96 hectares), and comprises two blocks north of Stratford Lane, and one to the south. The woodland offers good sporting and amenity use.

The land has been used for shooting and fishing. All sporting, timber and mineral rights are included in the freehold sale, in so far as they are owned.

This property has 45.69 acres of land.
