An Exceptional Canal-Side Family Home in One of North Oxford`s Most Desirable Addresses
A beautifully extended Victorian canal-side residence, occupying one of Walton Manor`s most prestigious residential addresses. Backing directly onto the Oxford Canal and enjoying a beautifully landscaped west-facing garden, this exceptional home perfectly combines elegant Victorian architecture with thoughtfully designed contemporary family living.Extended and significantly improved, the property offers beautifully balanced accommodation over four floors, centred around a spectacular 47-foot open-plan lower ground floor, creating an outstanding space for modern family living and entertaining.
The accommodation is arranged over four floors.The raised ground floor retains the elegance and character expected of a fine Victorian home, with high ceilings, large sash windows and beautifully proportioned reception rooms. The principal sitting room is centred around an attractive wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting focal point, whilst the rear reception room enjoys delightful views across the mature west-facing garden towards the Oxford Canal. French doors open onto a private balcony, providing the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee or evening drink overlooking the garden.
The lower ground floor is undoubtedly the heart of the home, extending over an impressive 47 feet from the front bay to the rear bi-folding doors. Beautifully designed as an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and family space, it offers an exceptional environment for both everyday living and entertaining. The bespoke kitchen features extensive granite worktops, quality cabinetry, a Heritage electric Aga and excellent storage, flowing seamlessly into the dining and family areas. Flooded with natural light from the impressive roof lantern above and full-width bi-folding doors opening directly onto the west-facing terrace and gardens beyond, the space enjoys a wonderful connection between inside and out. Underfloor heating throughout the lower ground floor provides year-round comfort, while a separate utility room and cloakroom complete this level.
The first floor provides two generous double bedrooms served by a contemporary bathroom.
The second floor offers two further well-proportioned double bedrooms together with an additional bathroom, creating excellent accommodation for family, guests or those working from home.
Outside, the rear garden is a particular highlight of the property. Facing west and enjoying sunshine throughout the afternoon and evening, it has been beautifully landscaped to create a series of attractive outdoor spaces. Immediately adjoining the house is a generous stone terrace, ideal for al fresco dining, bordered by established herbaceous planting providing colour throughout the seasons. Steps rise to a beautifully maintained lawn enclosed by mature trees and well-stocked borders, creating a wonderfully private setting. At the far end of the garden is a useful timber shed with an attractive decked seating area positioned to enjoy the peaceful outlook towards the Oxford Canal.
To the front of the property is a useful lower ground storage area with steps leading to the main entrance. Also separate entrance from lower ground floor accessed with front lower ground door.
