A rare opportunity to own a charming, period home in highly sought after enclave.
Located in the heart of Old Headington conservation area, within 160 yards (c150m) of Bury Knowle Park and with excellent access to the many local amenities, this delightful cottage has been very well maintained during our clients' ownership and is complemented by a beautiful, part-walled rear garden.
The property is composed of two bedrooms and a bathroom to the first floor, and sitting/dining room and kitchen to the ground floor. It is tastefully presented throughout and has the benefit of attractive, character features including double glazed, sliding sash windows to the front and fireplaces to two of the rooms.
Outside, access to the rear garden can be gained by a secure, shared passageway running to the side of the cottage. Immediately behind the property is a useful covered storage area and a small terrace. Steps constructed from railway sleepers (also forming raised shrub beds) then lead to the main section of garden which is laid to gravel bordered by flower & shrub beds. The widest point is at the head of the garden which provides the perfect spot for morning coffee or dining al-fresco (the majority of the garden enjoys the benefit of being in sunlight for much of the day).
Old Headington is often described as a village within the city and is a designated conservation area. It has an eclectic mix of properties ranging from quaint character cottages to large mansion houses set within extensive grounds. The sense of individuality within the area is one of its main attractions, as well as the sense of community - the Friends of Old Headington is a thriving society. It is also well placed for access for all local amenities including Waitrose, Sainsburys Local, Boots the Chemist, and a wide selection of coffee shops, cafes and eateries. It is also well placed for access to the John Radcliffe hospital, Brookes University and regular bus links to the city centre, London and the airports.
