2 Bed Flat, Woodstock Close, OX2

Luxury first floor apartment with large sunny balcony overlooking landscaped gardens in exclusive North Oxford. This is a versatile apartment that originally has one bedroom, but also has a dining room that can be purposed as a dining room, home office or second bedroom by closing the double doors that connect it to the living room.
 

The elegant apartment building was constructed in the early 1900's, and still has its original lift and entrance hall. It features large double glazed windows and original doors and fittings throughout. The apartment is carpeted, and features a large hall with plenty of storage. The quiet double bedroom overlooks the back of the building, and is furnished with a king size storage bed and a period chest of drawers. 

The bathroom is fully tiled with a large, walk-in, remote-controlled shower. The kitchen is fully fitted with a gas hob and modern double oven, new dishwasher and washer-dryer, and fridge-freezer. There is a secure back door, opening onto the Edwardian fire escape. 

The enormous double reception room is the focal point of this home, with west-facing windows opening onto a large balcony that has views all the way across to the Port Meadow and Wytham Woods. The original double doors have just been restored and rehung to allow you divide this room into two, should you wish for a second bedroom or home office. 

The reception room has recently been wallpapered with William Morris Willow Bough to match the era of the building, and has a working gas fire with period fire surround. It is furnished with two comfortable sofas (both are sofa beds), and a antique dining room table and matching upholstered chairs. 

Woodstock Close is a very quiet and peaceful place to live. Very close to the city centre, it is a 10 minute walk to Summertown shops, and there is a bus stop right at the entrance to the development with frequent buses into the city or out to Woodstock and surrounding Oxfordshire. If you are commuting to London, it is just a 10 minute cycle to Oxford Parkway, and parking can be arranged. It is also in the catchment area for the Cherwell School. Homes in this unusual period building very rarely come on the market.
