2 bedroom terraced house for sale

A charming two bedroom Victorian house in a quiet location on sought after Osney Island, just west of Oxford city centre.

Originally the baker's shop, this would be an ideal home for working or studying in Oxford or commuting further afield. Features include; ground floor reception room with beech flooring, cast iron fireplace and fitted cupboards; kitchen with quarry-tiled floor, appliances in situ; and a "stable door" to the secluded east-facing garden. Open-plan stairs lead to a double bedroom at the rear with fitted wardrobe; a single bedroom/study with hardwood sash window; and a bathroom with white suite. All first-floor windows are timber double glazed. Resident parking is available, and there is a bicycle rack near by. Mobile coverage is good and ultrafast broadband is available. All mains services are connected. The property is in Flood Zone 3, but since the client has owned the property (19 years) there has been no flooding or increase in insurance premiums.

Osney Island is a hidden gem. The Thames Path offers a traffic-free cycling route across Oxford, and river walks to Port Meadow or Grandpont Nature Reserve. There is a canoe club with membership restricted to residents and two well regarded pubs. Just off the island is a supermarket plus a range of independent shops. Across Botley Road are a playground and allotments. Oxford mainline station offers a 50-minute service direct to London Paddington, and Saíd Business School is within half a mile.
