Can’t decide between a city break or a country getaway? Stay in this luxury penthouse overlooking Cuckoo Lane and have the best of both worlds - a modern residence close to the action yet decorated like a country pile with antiques and art.
If you’re looking for bright, spacious, luxury accommodation in the City of Dreaming Spires then look no further. This fully furnished apartment has two large bedrooms with an open plan living and dining room which is filled with light from dawn to dusk.
In the living room there is a dining area, study desk, and a plush velvet sofa ready to be sunk into at the end of a long day of adventuring. Sky Wifi and streaming services are available.
Going out of the living room there is your private roof terrace which is a lovely place to sit out and have your morning coffee in the sunshine. Over Bonfire Night and New Years, there is a clear view of the Oxford Fireworks in South Park.
There is a newly fitted, fully equipped kitchen with an induction range cooker and beautiful Butler’s pantry containing teas, coffee and appliances. If cooking is your thing, then you will find everything you need to prepare a feast.
The Master Bedroom contains a superking bed, ensuite bathroom and a beautiful view of trees in the summer. The Guest Room has a double bed with a French writing desk. We like to sit here, answer our correspondence and pretend to be Jane Austen!
There is an ensuite shower room attached to the Master Bedroom in addition to a generous family bathroom with separate bath and shower. Both bathrooms have rainhead showers for the ultimate experience.
Accessibility - there is a lift which will take you to your front door from the shared entrance. The ensuite bathroom has handrails and a shower seat if required.
Parking - there is allocated parking on site, please contact us 48 hours in advance to book this.
Travel to/from Oxford - the closest bus stop is Sandfield Road which is has multiple buses that go towards the city centre every 5-10 minutes. Timed well, you can be in Oxford in 20 minutes door to door, perfect if you are always running late! This may take longer at peak times due to city traffic.
Travel to/from London - buses run to and from Sandfield Road bus stop from the Oxford railway station. Alternatively take the Oxford Tube Coach service from the Headington Shops bus stop which is a 10 minute walk away. The Oxford Tube runs 24/7 from multiple stops in London and is my preferred way to get home to Headington.
Travel to/from Airports - London Gatwick and Heathrow are easiest by taking the National Express Coaches or Airline Coaches which depart and arrive at the Headington Shops.
Safety - Oxford is a relatively safe city. Obviously unpleasant incidents can happen anywhere and you should always be aware of your personal safety, but I have had no issues being out and about or walking alone at any time of night or day.
Smoking - we ask that guests refrain from smoking or vaping in the property or roof terrace. There is a dedicated smoking spot with cigarette bin outside the main entrance of the block.
