Linton Road, Central North Oxford, OX2

8 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Oxford

DESCRIPTION Built in 1910 by Arthur Hamilton Moberly (later one of the architects of the Peter Jones store on Sloane Square in the 1930's), this handsome detached Grade II Listed house, mentioned in Nikolaus Pevsner's book "Buildings of England" as being of architectural interest, occupies a corner plot in a prime central North Oxford location and enjoys a mature, beautifully kept walled garden, a gated driveway providing parking and a garage. The property is exquisitely styled like a country house in a simplified William and Mary character, with interior features of the Arts and Crafts/Art Nouveau elegance, which include tiles in the drawing room and cast-iron grates on the upper floors.

Arranged over three floors with many period features throughout, the accommodation (4,271 sq ft) provides a superb family home with a lateral layout which will appeal to many families. There are spacious and elegant reception rooms to the ground floor, with eight bedrooms and three bathrooms arranged over the first and second floors accessed via two separate staircases. The property has remained within the same family since the 1960's and would now benefit from some updating.

The walled gardens are a particularly appealing feature of the property, and have been carefully maintained and well stocked. The gated front drive provides good off-street parking, and there is a single garage with attached store.
 

SITUATION The property is situated in a prime residential side road within the heart of the Central North Oxford Victorian Conservation Area and is particularly well positioned for the Oxford schools. The City centre is within easy reach along with the glorious University Parks, with walks along the River Cherwell and Summertown, which provides all the day to day shopping facilities including bars, restaurants and a Marks and Spencer food hall. The Banbury Road joins directly to the Oxford ring road connecting to the A40 and M40 to London. The Oxford rail station has regular services directly to London Paddington and the Oxford Parkway station provides regular services to London Marylebone.
