Norham Road, Oxford, Oxfordshire

The impressive period building was constructed in 1885 by Pike and Messenger, and formed part of the Norham Manor Estate, constructed in the traditional North Oxford Victorian style. The Norham Manor Estate was previously owned by St. John’s College Oxford, and many of the buildings on the road still retain a connection to the prestigious university.

The apartment is spacious and bright, overlooking the rooftops of the surrounding conservation area and the leafy streets. Internally there are a number of character features, including original fireplaces and sash windows, though the apartment has been modernised and is presented with neutral, whitewashed walls, wooden floors in the kitchen, a tiled bathroom and carpeting throughout the rest of the internal space. The kitchen is well-appointed with storage and an oven, and there is space for additional appliances and a dining table. The main reception room is a good-size and has large windows providing good natural light. There is a double bedroom and, separately, a bath and shower room with space for a washing machine. Many of the rooms have built-in storage including shelving and cupboards.

The apartment is situated within an attractive building with various shrubs around the front. Stone steps lead up to the front door which is shared by the other flats within the building. On-street parking is available locally (permit required).

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.
