About this listing
This elegant late Georgian townhouse occupies a prime position on one of Walton Manor's most sought-after residential streets. Offering approximately 1,000 sq ft (93 sq m) of accommodation, including a useful basement, the property combines period character, a wonderful south-facing garden and excellent potential to create an exceptional Oxford home. The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall leading to the principal reception room, an elegant space with excellent natural light and attractive period proportions. Double doors open into a second reception room, creating a wonderful flow for both everyday living and entertaining. To the rear, a delightful conservatory provides the perfect breakfast or garden room, enjoying views across the south-facing garden and filling the rear of the house with natural light throughout the day. The kitchen sits alongside and offers direct access to the conservatory, creating a practical and sociable layout. A particularly valuable feature of the property is the generous basement, currently providing excellent storage but offering significant potential for conversion into further living accommodation, a home office, studio, gym or cinema room, subject to the necessary consents. The first floor comprises two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both benefiting from built-in storage, together with a family bathroom. Outside, the rear garden is undoubtedly one of the property's greatest assets. Facing south, it enjoys sunshine throughout the day and offers an excellent degree of privacy. The mature garden extends to a useful outbuilding at the far end, ideal for storage, a workshop or a future garden studio, subject to the necessary permissions. Residents benefit from permit parking within Oxford's Controlled Parking Zone. Walton Manor is one of Oxford's most desirable residential neighbourhoods, renowned for its attractive period architecture and exceptional convenience. Just moments away are the independent cafés, acclaimed restaurants, traditional pubs, boutique shops and the renowned Phoenix Picturehouse cinema that make neighbouring Jericho one of the city's most vibrant destinations. Beautiful Port Meadow, with its miles of open green space and riverside walks, is also within easy walking distance. The property is ideally positioned for many of the University of Oxford's most prestigious departments, including the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, the Blavatnik School of Government and Oxford University Press. The historic city centre, its world-famous colleges and the Westgate Shopping Centre are all comfortably reached on foot or by bicycle. Oxford Railway Station lies approximately one mile away and provides regular direct services to London Paddington in around one hour. Gloucester Green coach station also offers frequent services to London Victoria, Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted airports.
