Description

A distinguished semi-detached five-bedroom Victorian townhouse in a prestigious North Oxford location. This imposing Victorian residence is entered via an enclosed porch, leading into a welcoming entrance hall with a convenient cloakroom. To the front, a bright and spacious bay-windowed drawing room offers an elegant reception space, while to the rear, a versatile study or fifth bedroom offers flexibility for home working or guest accommodation. The rooms are well-proportioned, complete with high ceilings, period detailing and an abundance of natural light. Designed for modern family living, the lower ground floor showcases an impressive open-plan layout. A generous bay-windowed family room, complete with a feature fireplace, flows seamlessly into a well-appointed kitchen and dining area, creating a sociable space ideal for both everyday life and entertaining. French doors open directly onto the beautifully landscaped walled garden, enhancing the indoor-outdoor connection. This level also benefits from a walk-in larder for additional storage and a separate utility room for practical household needs. The first floor is home to the principal bedroom, a spacious bay-windowed retreat benefitting from an en suite bathroom with a shower over the bath. This beautifully proportioned bedroom enjoys ample natural light and a refined sense of space. Adjacent is a well-sized guest bedroom, offering flexibility for family or visitors, with views over the rear garden. Completing this level is a generous and functional wet room. The second floor offers two further well-proportioned bedrooms, both enjoying elevated views and plenty of natural light. A conveniently located cloakroom serves this level, adding practicality. With its generous ceiling heights and characterful layout, the top floor enhances the home's versatility while maintaining its period charm. Set back from the road, the property is approached via a gravel driveway lined with mature herbaceous borders, creating an attractive entrance while providing off-street parking for one vehicle. To the rear, a beautifully landscaped walled garden offers a private and tranquil outdoor space. Thoughtfully designed with a combination of paved seating areas, manicured lawns, and well-established planting, the garden provides a perfect setting for relaxation and entertaining. Mature trees and carefully chosen shrubs enhance privacy while ensuring year-round colour and interest. With direct access from the kitchen and dining area, the garden seamlessly extends the living space, making it ideal for al fresco dining and gatherings. The rear garden can also be reached via a separate door and pathway from the front porch. Polstead Road is a picturesque tree-lined avenue within walking distance of the green expanse of Port Meadow. It offers convenient access to the local shopping and dining options on Walton Street, including restaurants, bars, cinema, and a health centre. While the broader amenities of Oxford City Centre and University departments are also easily reachable.
