Kings Head House is a grade 2 listed stone building located in the centre of the beautiful conservation village of Wootton. Tucked away from the main thoroughfare and nestling in a backwater the house abounds in peace and tranquillity yet is only 2 miles from Woodstock home of Blenheim Palace birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill and nearby Bladon where he is buried. The whole area is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Our house a former village inn has been extensively renovated and all services have been renewed and updated. Previously hidden oak beams have been exposed and the stairwell now has light pouring down from above and a very spacious atmosphere has been created. The open tread staircase rising through the centre of the building leads onto a bridge connecting the old with the new. Located in a corner of the walled garden is our Barn Retreat which offers the option of a double room with four poster bed bathroom with corner bath and a private lounge with garden access. In the house we have two rooms; an ensuite double room with shower bathroom and the other room can be arranged as either twin bedded or super kingsize double. This is a very large room and the bathroom has both a bath and over bath shower. Our rooms all have television wifi tea and coffee facilities and hairdryer . All bathrooms have wash hand basin wc heated towel rail and either bath shower or both. Toast made from homemade bread and preserves accompany individually freshly cooked breakfast served in our light and airy east facing dining room which has doors which open out onto a terrace in the walled garden so if the sun is out you are guaranteed a bright start to your day.

Eco Policy:
For the house we now have a state of the art wood pellet boiler which uses pellets manufactured from virgin waste timber. Solar panels heat our water which is topped up by the boiler as and when required. The Barn Retreat is heated independently. We grow our own soft fruit and vegetables and buy locally grown produce where necessary. The free range eggs for breakfast are purchased from a local farm and sometimes come straight from the henhouse! We always recycle as much of our waste as possible.

The house was built around 1720 and whilst there have been many improvements within the limitations of a listed building there are some features which could make access difficult for those restricted by mobility and special needs. Floor levels vary both at ground and first floor . Bedrooms are of typical cottage proportions and regrettably unsuitable for wheelchair users. First floor rooms are accessed by a staircase of 7 risers a half landing and a further 5 risers. There are further steps either up or down to each bedroom. There are no handrails in corridors or bathrooms.
