This spacious ground-floor apartment sits within one of Woodstock Close’s attractive Georgian-Revival mansion blocks, offering generous rooms, high ceilings and period character. Two reception rooms with tall south-facing windows and feature fireplaces look onto well-maintained communal lawns, creating a calm, leafy aspect ideal for a quieter city lifestyle. The accommodation includes a separate kitchen, two bedrooms and one family bathroom — a practical layout for a downsizer or first-time buyer seeking generous living space.
The development is a short walk from Summertown’s shops, cafés and amenities, with frequent bus links to Oxford city centre and easy road access to the A34/A40/M40. Local schools (state and independent) are highly regarded and the area scores very affluent with low crime, excellent mobile signal and pleasant communal gardens with residents’ parking.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold (142 years remaining) with a service charge of £4,200 p.a., and the building dates from the early 20th century — characterful but likely to need ongoing maintenance. Broadband speeds in the area are currently slow and the solid-brick construction suggests limited cavity insulation. These are realistic costs to factor in when considering comfort and running expenses.
Overall this flat offers a rare combination of generous, characterful accommodation and a prime Summertown-adjacent location. It will suit a buyer who values space, period detail and convenient local amenities, and who is comfortable managing leasehold charges and potential long-term improvement works.
