Location

Polstead Road is a popular leafy side road lying within the sought after North Oxford Victorian conservation area, with good access to the city centre and the amenities of North Oxford and Summertown, as well as the popular restaurants and Phoenix Cinema in nearby Jericho.

It is within a 1.25 radius of the city centre and Oxford mainline train station and, to the north, is Oxford Parkway. The property is well located for the Oxford schools, and the glorious open spaces of Port Meadow are within a six minute walk.

Description

Built in the 1890s to a design of HW Moore, this semi detached Victorian house has great potential. It has provided a comfortable home, and now offers a great opportunity to improve and reconfigure into a lovely family house, subject to the required approvals. With 2691 sq ft in total including the loft, the property provides nicely proportioned rooms, with flexible accommodation throughout.

There are two reception rooms on the lower ground floor, together with a useful utility room and separate store room. The drawing room on the upper ground floor overlooks the front, and the kitchen/dining room overlooks the rear garden. On the upper floors are five bedrooms, two shower rooms and an additional cloakroom.

Outside, to the front, a paved drive provides off street parking and flower, plant and shrub beds to one side, and gated side access. The mature, walled, south facing rear garden is an attractive feature.   A paved patio, ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining, leads to the garden which is laid to a shaped lawn with mature beds extensively stocked with plants and shrub borders, and interspersed with trees.
