Osney Town (better known as Osney Island), is a riverside community to the west of the city centre with the only vehicle access from the Botley Road. The conservation area is partially sited on the island at a point where the River Thames splits into several channels, and providing easy access onto the Thames riverbank and towpath. In the main, the properties here comprise of 19th century terrace housing, constructed as a result of the opening of the railway station and the influx of related workers to the area. Over the years this area has increased in popularity due to it's proximity to the railway station (less than 500 meters distance) and the city centre, and in our experience offers both a friendly and supportive community. Osney island/west Oxford is located amongst several green spaces and canal/riverside walks and supports a good range of shops, several public houses, primary school, local businesses and community centre, with a Waitrose supermarket located on the Botley Road.

The property completes an attractive short terrace of homes all with front gardens, enclosed either with low brick walling or wrought iron railings. Although on first appearances you would initially date the property back to the late 19th century, this home was thoughtfully designed and then constructed in the 1970's.

On closer inspection the age of the construction becomes more evident with characteristics of the 1970s build: Noticeably the size and location of the windows on the side and rear elevations, the open tread staircase and the two garages.

The well proportioned accommodation comprises of a part glazed front door which opens to the hallway with chimney breast, tiled flooring, radiator and doors to the kitchen/breakfast room and living room.

Work surfaces and stainless steel sink within, Worcester gas combination boiler (installed 2016) and door into the living room.

On the landing there is a window to the side elevation with river views, access to the loft, storage cupboard and all first floor accommodation. The main bedroom has a vaulted roof, and makes the most of it's location, with a large picture window to the side having direct river views, plus three high level windows to the south aspect. All this gives this room a bright and airy feeling. There is a built in cupboard. Bedroom two and three are again doubles, both with exposed brick to the chimney breasts and adjoining walls. The bedroom at the back enjoys a southerly aspect and built in cupboard. The bedroom at the front has a built in cupboard and its window over looks South Street, The Punter public house (a important social hub on the island), and down East Street and the river.
