An architect-designed apartment forms a stylish pad in a smart setting.

The newly-built first-floor property is in Linkside Avenue, Oxford, once part of the orchard for the Blenheim estate.

It includes two double bedrooms, a designer kitchen, bathroom, private garden with patio, driveway and wooden flooring.

Other luxury touches include a large balcony and a private staircase for access to the flat.

Michael Joubert, associate director at agent Scottfraser’s Summertown office, said: “This is a really stunning apartment, designed by award-winning architects Riach and finished to an extremely high specification.

“Its location is also very attractive, in that it is a contemporary property in a quiet residential area of north Oxford.

“There is nothing remotely like it there, in that the other houses in the vicinity are all 1930s or 1960s. Unusually for a first- floor apartment, it comes with its own private garden and patio and there are no restrictions on street parking.

“There is a balcony that stretches from one end of the property to the other which is accessed from both the sitting room and the bedroom.

“We think it would be suitable for a single professional, couple, or two professional sharers and if someone wants a quiet flat with all mod cons, then this is the one for them.”

The apartment in Linkside Avenue is available to let, unfurnished, for £1,195 per month. For more information, or to arrange a viewing contact Scottfraser Summertown lettings branch on 01865 554577 or visit scottfraser.co.uk
