A distinctive riverside terrace on Osney Island, this two-bedroom period house combines original character with contemporary fittings and excellent river views. The ground floor offers a sitting room with fitted cupboards, a maple-floored dining room with a feature stove, and a modern kitchen with skylights and breakfast bar. A rear family room opens via French doors to a professionally designed west-facing garden with an insulated, heated home office.
Upstairs there are two first-floor bedrooms and a white/chrome family bathroom, with a loft room above that has been used as a guest bedroom. Sash windows, double glazing and mains gas central heating are in place, and the property is arranged over three floors to maximise space within a compact footprint. Its location is exceptionally convenient — around 0.4 miles from Oxford station and 0.7 miles from the city centre — with riverside walks, local shops and amenities nearby.
Practical points to note: the house sits in a conservation area and dates from the early 20th century, with solid brick walls likely lacking cavity insulation. The energy performance is average (EPC D noted in summary), so buyers should budget for potential energy upgrades. There is a medium flood risk for the area and the neighbourhood records higher crime levels than average; the rear plot is small despite well-designed landscaping.
This home will suit purchasers seeking a character-filled city base with riverside appeal — ideal for professionals, couples or a small family who value location, outdoor access and flexible workspace. It also offers scope for sympathetic energy and maintenance improvements if desired.
