Woodstock Road, Oxford, Oxfordshire OX2

This elegant Victorian house occupies a sought-after position on Woodstock Road, offering classic period architecture combined with beautifully considered modern living.

The property has been thoughtfully extended to create exceptional living and entertaining spaces on the ground and lower ground floors. Large areas of glazing flood the interior with natural light and provide seamless views over the garden, while contemporary detailing sits comfortably alongside the home's original character.

The front door opens into the hall with WC, and the main reception room has tall sash double-glazed windows, a stone fireplace and wooden floors. The layout flows naturally through to the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining space, beautifully appointed with bespoke cabinetry, stone worktops and a central island. A large rooflight and full-height glazed doors enhance the sense of space and light, making this a superb focal point for modern living. Steps lead down to a family room with an open fireplace, a well-fitted utility room and a study with an ensuite shower room. This could also be used as a bedroom and has double doors to the outside with steps up to the drive/garden.

The property offers three/four well-proportioned bedrooms, all with ensuite bath/shower rooms and a separate WC. Currently, the main bedroom has doors through to a dressing room, which could be used as a bedroom, if required.

Outside, the landscaped rear garden enjoys a good degree of privacy and has well-stocked herbaceous borders, a charming summer house and offers an ideal setting for outdoor dining and relaxation. There is also a very useful side access. At the front, an electric gate leads onto the drive with parking for two/three cars with a pedestrian gate through to the front garden.

The house lies in an ideal location, close to the city centre and a number of local shops and University departments. All the amenities in Jericho are close by, with a range of independent shops, bars, artisan coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants and the Phoenix Picturehouse cinema. Locally, the shops in Belsyre Court offer everyday essentials, and a bus stop close to the house provides access to the city centre. Port Meadow and University Parks offer open 'green spaces' with walks along the river and canal, and are close by.

There is an excellent range of state and independent schools for all ages nearby, including Wychwood, The Dragon, Summer Fields, d'Overbroecks, Oxford High, Cherwell, the Swan and several others. From the main rail station, there are services to London Paddington in 52 minutes, and the coach station at Gloucester Green has services to London Heathrow, Gatwick and Victoria.
