The house is set back from the road behind a high hedge with electric double gates and has off street parking to the front. It comprises 3861 sqft over three floors and was originally designed by H W Moore and built-in 1906. At present, the house has been configured with 6 bedrooms, 4 bath/shower rooms with reception rooms and a kitchen over the ground and first floor. In addition, there is a self-contained two bedroom annexe over two floors with side access.

It offers an opportunity to create a large family house with the possibility of extending as well, subject to the usual consents in this sought-after location close to excellent schools and the city centre. The rear walled garden is approached at either side of the house or through the conservatory. There is a paved terrace with steps down to the lawn, which is flanked by mature shrubs and trees with well-stocked herbaceous borders.


Northmoor Road is within the highly regarded North Oxford Victorian Conservation area and situated just north of the city centre. The city is well known for its excellent schools, including The Dragon, Oxford High School, St Edward's, St Philip and St James' Primary School, Wychwood School for Girls, and The Swan and Cherwell School, amongst others. Oxford's sporting and leisure amenities include the Nuffield Health sports centre, golf clubs, several tennis and rowing clubs and walks along the banks of the canal and River Thames. Local shopping facilities can be found in North Parade, with a farmers' market every other Saturday, and in Jericho, where there are a number of independent shops, bars and restaurants and the Phoenix cinema. To the north is Summertown, with a wide range of shops, three supermarkets, artisan coffee shops and bakeries, together with a number of restaurants. There is also the Ferry Sports Centre, doctors and dentists surgeries.

Northmoor Road has had a number of illustrious former residents, including perhaps most famously JR Tolkien, who lived firstly at No.22 and then at No.20 where he wrote Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. In addition, the road has been home to a number of leading pioneers in the medical and scientific world, three of whom have gone on to be awarded Nobel Prizes.

There is excellent access to the M40, connecting to London and Birmingham, and the A34, linking to Newbury and the M4. There is a fast rail service to London Paddington, taking approximately 55 minutes, and from Oxford Parkway, there are services to London Marylebone. From the coach station in Gloucester Green, there is a regular service to London, Heathrow and Gatwick airports.
