Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This bright apartment is under a ten-minute stroll from the heart of leafy Headington, with its various restaurants and cafes. It's also home to Headington Hill Park, a weekly farmer's market, and a huge fibreglass shark diving into a roof of a Victorian terraced house – random, we know. Beautiful Oxford is a fifteen-minute drive away – you'll be glad to know that this home has free parking for one car. Inside, there's a well-equipped kitchen for rustling up some delicious meals and a cosy living area. If you're a group of three, one guest will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the open-plan living space, though.
