About this home
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 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.
