Iffley and the surrounding area is popular with families because it has a village feel but is well connected, according to one agent.

Suzanne Webb, of Breckon & Breckon, said: “Iffley is a city centre village and it’s a really pretty place to live. You can be in the city just a couple of miles down the road but it has a great feel to it. Iffley Road is also popular because you have Iffley Fields right on your doorstep.

“The area is near the ring road and the Oxford Business Park and we find a lot of tenants who work in Abingdon or Reading like Iffley because of the access.”

Properties to let in the area include a four-bedroom period house in Stanley Road which includes oak wood floors and wood-burning stoves.

The house is arranged over four floors and includes a kitchen/breakfast room with doors to the garden, a sitting room, conservatory and study.

The bedrooms are doubles and the master has an en-suite shower room. There is also a downstairs shower and utility room.

It is available to rent for £2,950 per month. For more information, contact Scott Fraser on 01865 244666 or visit scottfraser.co.uk.

Another property available in the same area is number 6, Augustine Way just off Iffley Turn, which is on the market with Thomas Merrifield and Breckon & Breckon at £1,900 per month.

The four/five bedroom town house includes a sitting room, kitchen, Sky box, landscaped garden and parking for two cars.

Two of the bedrooms have en suites and there is a family bathroom.
