Canalside Quarter, Oxford

The Florey gives a growing family room to spread out, with each floor serving its own purpose, a 36ft wraparound terrace and an outlook towards the Oxford Canal.

The lower ground floor is where family life happens. The 28ft dining and living room has room for a table for ten as well as a full sofa area. Bi-fold doors open onto the landscaped garden, connecting the living space to outdoor dining and summer evenings. Alongside this sits the kitchen, with Caesarstone worktops and splashback, a full set of integrated appliances and a breakfast bar for quick meals or keeping the cook company. A separate utility room with its own sink keeps laundry and muddy boots out of the way, and a cloakroom WC give the home plenty of storage. Underfloor heating runs throughout.

You enter on the ground floor, where a study at the front of the house gives you a proper home office where you can close off and focus. At the back, the family room is a second seating area, ideal as a snug, playroom or teenagers’ den, with its own balcony looking over the garden. There’s a cloakroom WC on this floor as well as further storage off the hall.

The first floor is the standout area. A 36ft terrace wraps around the side and front of the house, big enough for a dining table, loungers and planters. You can step onto it straight from the principal bedroom or from the landing, so it works as a private retreat in the morning and a space for the whole family in the evening. The principal suite sits at the back of the house, with fitted wardrobes and an en suite with twin basins and a shower. Bedroom 2, at the front, also has its own en suite, which suits guests or an older child.

The top floor gives the children a floor of their own, with two double bedrooms, a single that works well as a nursery or study, and a family bathroom with a full-size bath. There is also further storage avalible on this floor.

An air source heat pump, solar panels and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery keep the house warm, the air fresh and running costs down, with no gas boiler. The 33ft garage has room for two cars in tandem or a car plus bikes and storage as well as an EV charging point.
