Property Details

Refurbished to a very high standard while retaining its character, this substantial four-bedroom terraced home is arranged over three storeys and offers larger-than-average accommodation for the street. The property benefits from an EPC rating of C, providing a strong level of energy efficiency for a home in this area.

Built approximately 1995 by Benfield and Loxley, the house has since been extended and thoughtfully reconfigured to create generous, flexible living space well suited to modern family life.

A stable door provides access to a side courtyard garden, allowing additional light and an extra outdoor connection rarely found in similar homes.

To the rear is a well-appointed kitchen fitted with a range of base and eye-level units, breakfast bar, stainless steel sink and plumbing for a dishwasher, washing machine and American-style fridge. This opens into an impressive second reception and dining area forming the heart of the home, featuring a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, Velux roof windows, underfloor heating and French doors opening directly onto the rear garden.

The first floor provides three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a front bedroom with box bay window and two rear-facing bedrooms with fitted wardrobes. A family bathroom serves this level, fitted with a bath, separate shower cubicle, wash hand basin and WC.

Second Floor

The top floor is dedicated to a generous fourth bedroom with Velux windows and extensive eaves storage, ideal as a principal bedroom, guest suite or home office.

A side courtyard garden with uplighting provides an additional private outdoor space, while the front of the property features a small walled garden with pathway leading to the front door.

Location

Stratford Street is a quiet, sought-after residential road tucked off the popular Iffley Road in the highly desirable Iffley Fields area of east Oxford. This established neighbourhood is known for its attractive period terraces, leafy streetscape and strong community feel, all within easy reach of Oxford city centre. The location is close to local everyday amenities, independent cafés, pubs and restaurants along Cowley Road and Iffley Road, and just minutes from green open spaces, riverside walks and cycle routes.

Nearby Amenities & Lifestyle

Residents enjoy excellent access to transport links, including regular bus services to the city centre and beyond, with Oxford Railway Station only a short journey away. The highly regarded St Mary and St John Church of England Primary School and several other good schools are close by, making the area attractive to families as well as professionals. Iffley Meadows and the Thames towpath are within comfortable walking distance, offering peaceful outdoor space, while pubs such as The Chester Arms are well known locally for relaxed dining and socialising.
Character & Community

Stratford Street sits within a neighbourhood of mainly Victorian and Edwardian homes, with original details still evident throughout the streetscape. Front gardens and mature planting contribute to the attractive character of the road, while the area as a whole combines a sense of tranquillity with convenient everyday living. This balance helps explain why Iffley Fields remains one of Oxford’s most enduringly popular residential pockets.
