About the home

This early Victorian artisan’s cottage has been tastefully restored to provide comfortable modern accommodation to a very high standard. The property benefits from being uniquely situated close to all the city centre and university amenities yet is within the vibrant village community of Upper Wolvercote with its ancient church, village hall and school, and is in close proximity to canal, river and open countryside.

Warm and cosy in the cooler seasons, the cottage provides light and airy accommodation during the summer months. There is a pretty, secluded garden for visitors to sit out in and the combination of accessibility, amenity and ambience has led to the property often been described by visitors as a hidden gem. Owned and lived in for part of the year by an academic couple, the cottage offers a perfect home from home for the discerning.

Having two double bedrooms with ample hanging and storage space, the cottage is ideal for couples, smaller families, visitors to the University or business executives working in the area. The living and dining rooms are elegantly furnished with contemporary and antique furniture, Persian rugs and original paintings and prints. The well equipped, modern kitchen allows for easy self catering or there is a choice of over a dozen restaurants and bistros within walking distance. A high speed broadband connexion is also provided.

Staying in Oxford you will be well placed to explore the luscious Cotswold countryside with its traditional villages, rolling countryside and many walking and cycling trails. Oxford is in close proximity to London, with very frequent, inexpensive bus services and excellent rail links.

The Oxford area

There are a myriad delights in Oxford, 'The City of Dreaming Spires' which is internationally famous for its University, and its unique place in the history of scholarship. You can visit its beautiful, ancient Colleges and enjoy all that it has to offer in the way of music, theatre, galleries, museums, book shops – and of course many good restaurants of all kinds. The Tourist Office will have full details, but among our favourites are:
• Branca (Walton Street): good affordable Italian-based.
• Gee’s (Banbury Road): fairly pricey, but pretty conservatory setting
• Pizza Express (Golden Cross, off Cornmarket): good pizza, wonderful building
• Quod (High Street): popular, noisy brasserie
• Cherwell Boat House (North of the centre): great location on the river, recently extended and good
food.

There are lots of interesting pubs, but probably the most famous (and most studenty) is the Kings Arms, near Radcliffe Square.

Blackwell's Bookshop is a great place browse and enjoy refreshment in the comfortable café.

Oxford is a beautiful city: as well as enjoying its architecture and cosmopolitan ambience, its history and its Colleges, you can hire punts, wander in the University parks, enjoy the spectacular views from Christ Church Meadow. There are walking and bus tours, but don’t always believe what the tour guides tell you!

Staying in Oxford you will be well placed to explore the lovely surrounding countryside with its traditional villages, rolling farmland and many walking and cycling trails. Blenheim Palace and the charming village of Woodstock are a short bus ride away. The famous Bicester Village Designer Outlet Mall is within easy reach. Oxford is in close proximity to Stratford-upon-Avon, where the Royal Shakespeare Company has its home. Warwick Castle is an easy car journey up the M40 motorway.

Guestbook for Elegant Cottage in Oxford

"Thank you so much ... We had a wonderful time visiting our daughter, enjoying the English winter weather and the beautiful countryside, especially the Cotswolds & Oxfordshire.
