Norham Road, Oxford

29 Norham Road is a spacious and characterful apartment forming part of an impressive period property built in 1885 to the design of Pike and Messenger. Situated on a coveted residential road within easy reach of a wealth of city amenities, the flat offers almost 1,000 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation and has the benefit of a tranquil south-facing mature garden.

The entrance hall with its colourful stained-glass features two useful built-in storage cupboards. From here is the attractive shower room with a large walk-in shower and monochrome tiled flooring. Rich wooden floorboards run throughout the property, with the accommodation flowing into the pair of adjacent bay-windowed rooms with excellent proportions and fine features, including handsome fireplaces, high skirting boards, column radiators and tall, corniced ceilings with picture rails.

Currently, the front-facing room is used as a bedroom, complete with a good range of bespoke and in-keeping fitted wardrobes, and the second potential bedroom is utilised as a sociable sitting room with a leafy garden view. Alongside is the well-appointed kitchen, with its L-shaped selection of fitted wall and base cabinetry, worksurfaces and shelving, along with a 5-burner hob, oven and inset sink. Completing the accommodation is a bright dining room with a wealth of fitted cabinetry and shelving and bi-folding doors opening to a sunny terrace with steps and a wrought-iron staircase leading down to the garden.

The property enjoys an attractive façade, with various mature shrubs, a gravelled drive and stone steps rising to the entrance. The enviable rear garden benefits from a warm southerly aspect and is accessed via the private staircase from the dining room. It is surrounded by a wealth of established trees and shrubs and also features a brick-paved terrace ideal for dining al fresco in the warmer months.

The apartment is located in sought-after setting in the centre of the North Oxford Victorian Conservation Area, within easy reach of the shops, restaurants and public houses of the desirable North Parade Avenue. It is also just south of the popular Summertown district, which provides an excellent range of shops and restaurants, with both doctor’s and dentist surgeries, a public library and a leisure centre with a swimming pool. It is also conveniently located for the well-regarded selection of north and central Oxford schools and well-placed for road travel, with easy access to the ring road leading to the M40 and A34.
