THIS month one of Oxfordshire's most palatial hotels, Eynsham Hall, went on sale for a cool £8.25m.

The owners hope it will stay as a hotel, but it could just become a family home.

So how would the asking price compare with some of family homes already on the market in Oxfordshire?

As it turns out, it wouldn't even be the the most expensive...
