The house has been recently renovated and extended by an architect to a very high standard and enjoys beautiful natural light and spectacular views over Port Meadow.

There is accommodation over two floors comprising of a large open-plan living/dining room, with bi-folding doors opening out onto the terrace, offering uninterrupted views of the garden and meadow beyond. The kitchen is in the centre of the house and is fitted with stainless steel worktops, contemporary units and opens out to the terrace and garden. The newly added studio/reception room provides a superb space with part-glazed wooden folding doors to the front, and large sliding glass doors to the garden at the rear. At the front of the house is a further study/guest bedroom with a wood burning stove. Off the hall is a wet room with shower and WC and there is an under-stair storage cupboard. There is under-floor heating throughout on the ground floor. The first floor has two double bedrooms, one of which enjoys wonderful views over the meadow. There is also a good-sized bathroom and, above, an attic for further storage.

The rear garden is most attractive and one of the widest on this stretch of the close. It is laid to lawn with an architectural pond, which draws the eye towards the meadow and skyline. A variety of flowers and fruit-bearing trees offer an abundance of colour in the spring and summer. The garden measures 51 ft long by 47 ft wide and is bordered at the rear by estate fencing, beyond which is a ha-ha. To the front of the house is a garden, which could accommodate a parking space if required.


The house occupies an exceptional setting overlooking Port Meadow, an open area of common grazing land of circa 400 acres and designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Port Meadow is a magnet for migrating birds and almost every regularly occurring British species of wader and freshwater wildfowl has been recorded, along with many gulls, terns, and song birds. It is also regularly grazed by cattle and horses.

Wolvercote is split into two distinct parts, Upper and Lower, with the property in Lower Wolvercote. Within walking distance there are a wide range of amenities with two pubs; the community White Hart and Jacob's Inn, local shop, children's playground and both the Oxford Canal and River Thames. A short walk takes you to The Trout pub in a beautiful position on the river. In Upper Wolvercote there is the Primary School, Church of St Peter and the Red Lion pub.

There is a direct bus service from the centre of Wolvercote to Oxford city centre where there are an enormous variety of restaurants, shops, the Westgate Shopping Centre and museums. The house is very well located for the A34 and M40 as well as Oxford Parkway with services to London Marylebone from 52 minutes.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
