Historic Oxfordshire luxury interiors shop priced at £300k

The Old Forge in Tetsworth, near Thame, has been listed for £300,000 with the site formerly run by Hines of Oxford, a family-run business that dates back to 1830.

The actual property dates to the eighteenth century and was used as a forge until the early 1990s, after which it was renovated.
