A two bedroom terraced cottage which has been upgraded to exacting standards and located within half a mile of the City Centre.
An exceptional two bedroom terraced cottage originally constructed around 1880 and situated in a road with no through traffic, within a short walk of Oxford train station ideal for commuters (London Paddington approx. 55 minutes). Beautifully extended and comprehensively modernised to an outstanding standard, the property has undergone an extensive programme of refurbishment, finished with meticulous attention to detail, resulting in a home that perfectly blends charm, character, and stylish interiors.
The hub of the home is the superb open plan ground floor, thoughtfully designed to create a seamless flow between clearly defined living, dining, and kitchen areas which are ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with elegant shaker style wall and base units, complemented by marble tiled flooring and a striking exposed brick feature wall, created using reclaimed stocks from a former chimney breast. A stable door also offers direct access to the garden, enhancing the indoor outdoor lifestyle this home provides. The remainder of the ground floor includes a welcoming entrance lobby and a convenient WC.
Stairs rise to a first-floor landing, enhanced by a sun tunnel that floods the space with natural light. There are two well proportioned double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes, alongside an exquisite bathroom featuring a classic suite and beautiful marble tiling.
The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to provide a perfect setting for alfresco dining, with attractive herringbone brick paving and a useful brick built store. A timber gate at the rear provides convenient access, perfect for a garden refuge or for easily bringing bicycles through.
The property further benefits from a high specification finish throughout, including new timber sash windows, complete re-plastering, full re-wiring, and an air source heat pump system serving a mixture of underfloor heating and radiators.
Swan Street occupies an excellent location just half a mile from the city centre with its array of shops, both high street names and niche boutiques. There are numerous entertainment venues and cafes and restaurants to suit most tastes. Cultural amenities include cinemas, theatres, museums and galleries. Both Oxford train and bus stations are easily accessible on foot or cycle with direct routes into London Paddington and London Victoria respectively, as well as direct coach links to Heathrow and Gatwick.
There is a very convenient footpath at the end of Swan Street which leads to Oatlands Road Recreation Ground, the Thames Path and Waitrose. Also nearby are some excellent local pubs, the Vishuddha Yoga Centre, and several shops and retail parks on Botley Road. Further afield for recreation are golf at Frilford Heath, water sports at Farmoor Reservoir and several leisure centres.
According to the Government flood risk map, there is a medium risk of flooding from rivers in this part of Oxford. We understand from the owner, the property has never flooded during their ownership.
