SITUATION

Oxton House dates back to Elizabethan times but was rebuilt in 1781 by Reverend, traveller and author John Swete who inherited a fortune from his godmother after he changed his name from John Tripe. Oxton is a popular hamlet due to the fact that it is on a 'no through' road and has a wooded approach with colourful rhododendrons and azaleas and the original estate white bridge over the river. It is approximately a 5 minute drive to the village of Kenton where there is a primary school, restaurants and a community hall. 3 miles to the east is the prestigious Powderham Castle and Estate which offers local facilities such as a farm shop, restaurant and garden centre.
