A bright and peaceful two-bedroom duplex apartment within a friendly community, situated off Wolvercote Green.

Upstairs there are three rooms - one double bedroom, one single bedroom and a family shower room. This property also includes a single garage.

Wolvercote is a vibrant village situated on the edge of Port Meadow, one of the largest open spaces in the northern part of Oxford city, spanning 136.9 hectares. This area is notable for having one of the only two designated wild bathing waters in the county, adding to its unique charm.

The village is a thriving community on the outskirts of Oxford, offering excellent accessibility to the city. Wolvercote boasts three public houses, a community village shop, and an outstanding primary school. Additionally, there is a community allotment located on Port Meadow, a community market on Sunday mornings outside the White Horse pub in Lower Wolvercote, as well as a weekly farmers' market in nearby Summertown, and a regular bus service into Oxford. Residents and visitors can also enjoy scenic walks across Port Meadow or along the towpath leading directly into the city centre.

Port Meadow, with the River Thames flowing through its heart, is a rich habitat for various species of wildfowl, as well as cattle and horses. The flood plains in this area have been preserved largely due to the grazing rights granted to the Freemen, and from the 16th century onwards, to the Commoners of Wolvercote, ensuring the meadow remains protected from development.
