A pair of newly-built houses in North Oxford are ranged over three floors with gardens and off-street parking.

The semi-detached properties at Blandford Gate, in Blandford Avenue, include kitchen/dining/family rooms with windows on three sides, vaulted ceilings, skylights, marble worktops and doors to the terrace. There is also a sitting room, study and utility room.

The master bedroom suites are divided over two floors with the sleeping area on the first and the bathroom and dressing area on a mezzanine, reached via a spiral staircase.

There are two more bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor and a fourth bedroom and en suite shower room on the second.

Alex McEntyre, of agents Kemp & Kemp, said: “There are very few new homes in North Oxford and none that have been built to this specification and with these superb features, which also includes rainwater harvesting eco-technology — they are truly a one, or rather two-off.”

One of the houses, built by local firm Mitchell Varney, is already sold, but the other is on the market for £895,000.
