A house of character and charm in city conservation area.
Set within the sought after village of Old Marston, this extended, semi-detached home has versatile accommodation laid out over three storeys, and is complemented by delightful, mature gardens to front and rear.
The four bedrooms are laid out over the top two floors, along with a family bathroom. To the ground floor is a sitting room with wood burning stove, an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining room, bedroom five or study and a shower room.
Outside, the property has a private driveway providing parking for several vehicles. This is screened from the house by trellis fencing and mature shrubs. A pathway leads through an expanse of lawned garden to the front door. There is also a timber built storage shed in this area. Access to the rear garden is gained via a gated pathway to the side of the house.
To the rear of the house is a terrace with steps leading up to a lawned area bordered by well stocked flower and shrub beds. At the head of the garden is a further terrace, laid to gravel, providing an additional area to relax or dine al-fresco. Within the garden is a sizeable timber outbuilding giving valuable storage space or workshop potential.
Old Marston Village is a conservation area within the city that still retains a distinctive, village feel and is served by two public houses (The Red Lion and the riverside Victoria Arms), the Church of St Nicholas (the oldest building in Old Marston dating from the early 1100s) as well as a library. There is excellent access to the city centre, John Radcliffe Hospital, Headington and Summertown via road, cycle paths or the number 14 bus service running through the village. If travelling further afield, Oxford Parkway station is located c.3.6 miles away with a fast connection to London Marylebone, and the Northern Bypass road gives good access to the A/M40 and A34.
Agent's Note: Planning permission was granted in 2022 for the demolition of the existing outbuilding and the erection of a garden annexe to provide ancillary accommodation to the main house. This has since lapsed but could be re-applied for.
