An imposing Edwardian detached house offering nearly 8,500 sq ft of flexible family accommodation in North Oxford. Generously proportioned rooms retain original features — high ceilings, cornicing, fireplaces, stained glass and wide stair — giving the house immediate period character and presence. The unusual first-floor ballroom with ornate ceiling and twin bay windows is a rare family or entertainment space.
The property sits behind a gravelled double drive with off-street parking and substantial walled, mature gardens with terraces, fruit trees and well-stocked borders — ideal for children, entertaining and private outdoor living. The layout includes multiple reception rooms, conservatory, large kitchen/breakfast room, pantry, utility, and 9 bedrooms arranged mainly over two floors, several with en suite facilities.
Practical considerations: the solid brick construction appears uninsulated and the EPC is rated E, so heating and running costs will be higher than modern alternatives. Council Tax is very expensive (Band H). Secondary glazing is fitted in places, but the house will suit buyers prepared to invest in energy upgrades and selective refurbishment.
Location is a major strength: Charlbury Road lies in the North Oxford Victorian Conservation Area, close to top independent and state schools, University Parks, Summertown’s amenities, the city centre and mainline stations — highly convenient for family life and commuting.
