St Marys Road, East Oxford

This charming property benefits from period features and recent renovations undertaken by the owners to update the kitchen, patio and more to  offer a modern feel throughout – the 'best of both worlds'. The house has been thoughtfully renovated and decorated, with the house even photographed and featured in popular interiors and home décor magazines. There is a sizeable garden which measures approx. 90ft in length and a new, attractive checkerboard ‘feature’ patio terrace at the rear.

The front door opens to an entrance hallway with period features, stairs to the first floor and the hallway leads to the living and dining rooms. The living room itself benefits from a bay window to the front and an original feature fireplace with alcoves either side of a chimney. A separate dining room also has an original chimney breast with alcoves, one of which is fitted with a cupboard and the other with more shelving. Under the stairs is a newly installed W.C. and built in storage space.  A new kitchen was fitted in 2024 where the current owners made the kitchen footprint larger by relocating the back bathroom to a under stairs W.C. The kitchen incorporates a range of cupboard units and stylish worktops and splashbacks, an integrated fridge freezer  and an integrated oven and hob. The kitchen was renovated extensively to install a new back roof, a 750mm x 1200mm roof lantern and thin-frame French doors that provide wonderful light and views of the garden.

The garden benefits from extensive work undertaken by the owners including an attractive 6-foot-long checkerboard patio that benefits from sunlight for most of the day in spring/summer. There is a door from the kitchen into the lean-to cum utility room, providing ample storage space and which in turns leads out into the rear garden with a new door matching the French doors installed to allow for more light flow and a cohesive back of house.  The property features a W.C. or bathroom on each floor including a ground floor W.C., a first-floor bathroom attractively fitted with a new shower installed in 2025 and standalone bath, and the second floor has an en-suite with shower off the loft bedroom. There are 3 double bedrooms – a larger master bedroom fitting a super king bed with two attractive sash windows and a double with views of the garden on the first floor, and a loft conversion now providing a sizeable second floor primary bedroom with the advantage of a contemporary en-suite shower room and Juliet balcony.

Outside the property there is a part paved, part planted area to the front and a sizeable rear garden which is predominantly laid to lawn.
