**Situation**
Chacombe is located approximately three miles North East of Banbury. Within

motorway is conveniently located approximately 3 miles away on the eastern
outskirts of Banbury. Also on the Eastern side of Banbury the railway station
will be found providing an improved high speed service on the Chiltern Line
between Birmingham and London. There are various shops, cafe, Post Office,
pharmacy, library, primary and secondary schools in the nearby village of
Middleton Cheney just 2 miles away.
Situated in picturesque countryside approximately three miles ne of Banbury,
Chacombe benefits from easy access to Junction 11 of the M40 motorway;
facilitating travel to Birmingham and all points north, and south to Oxford
and London. Banbury mainline station offers frequent trains to London and
Birmingham. Oxford, Stratford - upon - Avon, Northampton, and Milton Keynes all
lie within a thirty mile radius.
Chacombe House lies within Chacombe Park, a purpose - built care centre set in
over fifteen acres of parkland on the edge of Chacombe village near Banbury.
Attractive walks, paved areas and extensive lawns overlooking the neighbouring
18 hole golf course provide a tranquil and relaxing environment. The property
is just a short stroll to the charming village pub "The George & Dragon" and
the village bus stop.
Designed and constructed for those wishing to maintain an independent
lifestyle, the elegant retirement apartments provide a high level of comfort,
privacy and security whilst removing many of the day - to - day stresses of
running a home. The proximity to the care home is particularly helpful in
circumstances where one half of a couple may require more intensive care in a
care home environment, and yet the other is more independent.
For a small additional charge the care home can provide extra services
including laundry, hairdressing and meals. Residents can choose to take their
meals in the dining room or, if they prefer, in the comfort of their own
apartment. Also on offer are social activities and events in the Barchester
Chacombe community.

hall with lift, staircase, and comfortable residents' lounge; while a laundry
containing washing machines and tumble dryers for the use of residents, and a
