Sitting within a traditional red-brick building on one of North Oxford's most iconic residential streets, this handsome apartment offers a lesson in relaxation and pared-back style. From its herringbone wood floors to its contemporary decor and ample natural light, you’ll feel positively privileged lounging in the living room – a good book and a glass of wine in hand – or catching up on work at the window-side desk, taking in the views of the leafy communal garden for some inspiration. With a pair of comfortable bedrooms – one of which also has garden views – as well as all the home comforts you need with a well-equipped kitchen and a sleek bathroom, you’re all set for a carefree stay. As for sightseeing, you’re a twenty-minute walk from the Ashmolean Museum, a twenty-four-minute stroll from the Bodleian Library, while Port Meadow is nine minutes away on foot.
