In a city as historic as Oxford, famous buildings and heritage sites are around every corner. You'll find this cosy apartment on one of the city's most iconic and picturesque residential streets – noted figures like Harriet Shaw Weaver, John Edward Campbell and Sir Richard Doll all called this road home. It's the perfect spot for exploring this scholarly area, as Oxford's bustling centre and its array of pubs, landmarks and colleges are just a few minutes away by bus (or a twenty-minute walk if you want to stretch your legs). After a long day filled with sightseeing, book browsing and delicious eats, come home and unwind in this stylish apartment. Sink into the sumptuous sofas with a glass of wine and a good book, whip up a meal in the sleek kitchen or, when the weather is nice, retreat to the private garden for alfresco drinks in the evening sun. We love the traditional, sophisticated style inside – features like the original fireplace have been lovingly preserved, but white walls, gold accents and a stylish contemporary kitchen keep things modern. Whether you're snoozing in the comfortable bedrooms, relaxing under the rainfall shower or working remotely at the desk, this Oxford flat is sure to have you feeling right at home in no time.
