Hunsdon Road, Oxford

A charming 3-storey, bay-fronted semi-detached home that’s undergone thoughtful refurbishment by the current owners, with rear extension and loft conversion. Ideally located for families in a quiet cul-de-sac in a sought-after neighbourhood with easy access to local amenities, the accommodation is arranged over three floors and balances 1930s period detail with the effortless flow of modern living.

On entering the home, you are struck by the beautifully tiled entrance hall which leads to a bay fronted south facing reception room with original 1930s fireplace. The contemporary kitchen sits in the middle of the house with an open plan dining/family area adjacent, with ceiling lantern and French doors opening onto the rear garden. A very useful family bathroom and separate utility space completes the lower level.

The first floor has two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a second family bathroom, with stairs leading to a bright, attractive loft room with ensuite and a Juliette balcony with sweeping views of the area.

The front and rear gardens are laid to lawn with well-stocked herbaceous borders. The property also benefits from an attractive, insulated garden office/studio with wood-burning stove.

Location:
The property is located just on the outskirts of Iffley Village, which has retained a unique village feel, despite being only two miles south of the city centre. Its leafy roads, varied architecture and active local community make it a truly unique suburb of Oxford.

Iffley offers a Norman church, well-patronised community village shop, two public houses and two hotels. After crossing Iffley Lock, the Thames towpath offers a delightful walk or cycle ride past water meadows and the university boathouses to Folly Bridge and central Oxford.

The city centre is also easily accessible by car, and there is a frequent bus service along nearby Iffley Road. Oxford Station provides regular rail services to London Paddington in 55 minutes, and the Oxford Tube bus also runs frequent services to London Victoria in 90 minutes.

In The owners words:
“Welcome to our much-loved family home. Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac, it has been the perfect sanctuary for raising our two children and we are sure it will be just as special to its next owners.

One thing we have really appreciated is the unique warmth of the neighbourhood. It’s a friendly, sociable, and close-knit community where neighbours truly look out for one another. If you have young children, you couldn't ask for a better environment—it is a safe, peaceful haven where kids can play outside and families genuinely connect.

Inside, the house balances spacious comfort with a warm, inviting atmosphere, offering plenty of room for a growing family to thrive. The open plan kitchen and living area is truly the heart of the home—we’ve spent countless hours gathered around the table or enjoying drinks on the balcony overlooking the garden. The separate sitting room catches the evening glow, making it a cosy place to unwind after a long day—and when nights draw in there’s nothing like lighting a fire in the original tiled hearth.

We’ve restored and extended the home, balancing original features such as the mosaic tiled entryway and stained glass top lights while opening up the space to bring in more light and flow for modern family living.  The recently converted loft is a highlight, featuring private ensuite and elevated, far-reaching views of the Oxford skyline.

Keen gardeners, we’ve enjoyed tending to the front and rear borders where established shrubs give the garden shape during winter, and perennials add bursts of seasonal colour.

We have loved our time here and are sad to leave such wonderful neighbours, but we are excited to pass this beautiful home on to a new family who will appreciate and care for these walls as much as we have.”
