House For Sale £1,200,000
This elegant 1930s villa sits on Godstow Road in the sought-after Wolvercote neighbourhood of North Oxford. It is one of a few remaining houses that were built on land that was originally part of Blenheim Estate. Its coveted position provides the best of both worlds, with the town centre less than 3 miles walk or cycle (or less than 15 minutes by car or bus) in one direction, and the tranquility of Port Meadow, Godstow Abbey's ruins and the Thames a few minutes walk in the other. The current owners, a hotelier and an author, frequently swim and boat in the river.
North Oxford’s close proximity to Parkway station and the A40 is hugely attractive to those seeking access to London and makes flexi-working or commuting an increasingly popular option.
Schools are a big draw to this part of Oxford, with the home lying within the catchment area of the Cherwell School and being within walking distance of several prestigious private schools. Also nearby are North Oxford Golf Club and Summertown's shops and restaurants.
Because it is just outside of Wolvercote Conservation Area, the home has two working (newly lined and inset) fireplaces and is allowed bonfires in the garden. It also has ancient grazing rights for livestock in the Common.
The attractive period facade is secluded from the road by mature trees and bushes and there is ample off-street parking in front as well as a garage to the side.
The entrance opens into a hallway and staircase leading to a light landing.
The ground floor reception rooms have plenty of windows and the rooms are suffused with natural light. They comprise the sitting and dining rooms, the kitchen, utility room and shower room. There is also a fourth bedroom and a conservatory which both open out on to the veranda. At the bottom of the garden is a cabin with insulation and underfloor heating which makes for an ideal office.
The first floor consists of a bathroom and three double bedrooms, with a dressing room off the master bedroom.
