About
An exceptional off-market opportunity, a beautifully presented period home set in one of Oxford's most desirable central locations, just a stone's throw from The Plain and within easy reach of the city centre.
Originally dating from the mid-19th century, the property has been thoughtfully modernised and extended to create a harmonious blend of historic character and contemporary design.
The result is a refined and inviting home that balances elegance and practicality. Behind its traditional façade lies a light-filled interior that feels both generous and intimate.
The living spaces flow naturally, enhanced by fine craftsmanship, bespoke joinery and high-quality finishes throughout.
Large windows and considered design choices bring natural light deep into the home, while modern energy-efficient features, including an excellent EPC rating and solar panels, contribute to its comfort and sustainability.
The property's principal rooms offer a wonderful sense of openness and connection to the landscaped garden, creating a rare feeling of seclusion in the heart of the city.
Upstairs, the bedrooms are beautifully appointed, complemented by stylish and thoughtfully designed bathrooms.
Additional spaces, including a private roof terrace and covered off-street parking, further elevate this home's appeal.
Perfectly positioned within easy walking distance of the High Street, many Oxford University colleges this hidden gem enjoys immediate access to Oxford's finest amenities while retaining an atmosphere of privacy and retreat.
Opportunities of this quality in such a prime central setting are rarely available. Early confidential enquiries are warmly encouraged.
