Bennett Crescent, Oxford

This enchanting apartment boasts a characterful charm, featuring two spacious double bedrooms, and is complemented by an impressive and rare long lease of 972 years. Nestled within a beautifully converted Victorian building, which has a rich history as a former printing press and once operated as a military school, this residence embodies a unique blend of historical significance and modern living. The property’s age lends itself to striking architectural features such as soaring ceilings and breathtaking full-height windows, flooding the apartment with natural light and enhancing the sense of space. Entering through a secure telecom entry system at the main door of the block, one is greeted by a generous entrance hall, complete with a convenient storage cupboard. The living room gracefully opens up to a kitchen/dining area, both illuminated by the expansive windows that offer delightful views. The two double bedrooms, each adorned with larger windows, create inviting retreats, while the well-appointed family bathroom adds to the apartment's overall functionality. Outside, residents can enjoy the luxury of an allocated parking space, as well as beautifully maintained communal gardens. The historical building is in excellent condition, with ongoing works to further enhance its allure. Conveniently situated in a highly regarded development within East Oxford, this property borders the vibrant area of Headington and provides effortless access to the Eastern Bypass. Local amenities abound, with charming shops, nearby cafés, and the bustling Temple Cowley shopping facilities all within walking distance. A nearby bus route seamlessly connects residents to Headington and the heart of Oxford, providing direct access to both Oxford Brookes University and the esteemed John Radcliffe Hospitals.
In the owners own words:
We really like the uniqueness and history of the property; it is a Victorian building and old print press. We love the high ceilings and large windows in all the rooms – it really makes the property feel light and spacious. It reminds us of a flat you might find in London which has been converted. There are brilliant transport links into the city and a walkable distance to any amenities you may need such as supermarkets, pharmacies, cafés and pubs. We also like that the flat is situated in a private road, meaning it is quiet.
