This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and exceptionally versatile Oxford family home combining expansive living space with excellent flexibility in one of the city's most desirable residential locations.

The property is located on Abberbury Road in this sought-after part of Oxford. Although close to the historic Iffley Village Conservation Area, the property itself lies outside the Conservation Area and is therefore not affected by the additional planning controls. Nearby Iffley Village is characterised by a blend of period houses and offers an excellent range of local amenities, including a well-patronised village shop, three public houses, a beautiful Norman church and a hotel.

The Thames is a short walk away at Iffley Lock and there are walks amongst the meadows and along the towpath to the rail station and central Oxford.

The village is well placed for communications, with junction 8 of the M40 and access via the southbound ring road and the A40. There are also excellent nearby bus services, including a direct route to Oxford railway station. A few miles this side of junction 8 is the Thornhill Park and Ride, which has a frequent coach service to London. There are frequent train services from either Oxford, Didcot or Oxford Parkway. Oxford city centre is less than two miles away, and the property is well placed for all the popular Oxford schools.
