Location

The village proudly offers a welcoming primary school, a picturesque church and a popular cafe. Smaller villages and hamlets surround the Village; Shellingford to the west, Hatford to the north, Charney Bassett to the east, and Goosey to the south, with many ancient footpaths, pubs and churches.

The three “nuclei” of Stanford: High Street, Church Green, and Upper Green, all retain an essence of character that makes each area special individually and strong as a group. Both Church and Upper greens offer panoramas of village life. Church Green, under the watchful eye of St. Denys, conjures visions of markets and fairs bordered by scenes of domestic life offer shelter to herds of livestock driven to Stanford on their journey towards Abingdon.

There is a wide selection of both state and private schools within the locality including St Hugh’s, Pinewood, Abingdon School, St Helen &St Katherine, together with well-regarded comprehensive schools in Wantage and Faringdon. There are excellent road links via the A420to Oxford, Swindon and Lechlade. Mainline train services from Oxford and Didcot (11 miles) to both London Paddington and Marylebone.
