DESCRIPTION A beautifully renovated semi-detached Victorian house built in 1880 to a design by N W Harrison located in one of Oxford's most desirable residential side roads.
The house has undergone a complete renovation project resulting in a stunning family home with a stylish and contemporary interior with careful attention to detail to retain the original character and period features. The renovation project, which focused on bringing more natural light into the property, included sympathetically extending the house on two levels to create a superb family living area forming the heart of the house. This was achieved by converting and extending the original basement into an open plan kitchen/dining/family area and digging down to construct a new lower basement to accommodate a games room and gym, being a perfect teenage retreat. The extension also incorporated a stunning sedum roof providing attractive views from the ground floor rooms. Following completion of the project, the Construction Company, Sporn Construction went on to achieve the prestigious Master Builder of the Year award.
The remainder and original part of the house comprises at ground floor level a double reception room leading off the attractive entrance hall providing a more formal living space with a sitting area to one end and a dining area at the other which opens through to the study. The generous master bedroom suite with dressing room and bathroom predominantly occupies the first floor, along with a smaller bedroom. Three further bedrooms and two bathrooms are arranged on the second floor with an additional en-suite bedroom located on the lower ground floor.
Complementing the house and continuing the stylish and contemporary theme, the garden arranged at the rear of the property has been professionally landscaped to provide a stunning setting. A sunken terrace leads off the lower ground floor family room from where steps lead up to the garden with raised borders and pathways leading to a further seating/dining area at the end of the garden. To the front a gravelled driveway provides off-street parking for a number of cars; there is also an electric car charger.
