A classic Edwardian detached house in Banbury Road offers three storeys of family accommodation and a slice of history.

The house was designed by architect Harry Wilkinson Moore in 1904, according to architectural historian Tanis Hinchcliffe in her book North Oxford.

Moore was responsible for a number of notable buildings in Oxford including Napier House, now Cotuit Hall halls of residence for Oxford Brookes in Pullens Lane and the covered bridge over Logic Lane at University College.

The accommodation includes seven bedrooms, three bathrooms, a formal drawing room, a garden/family room and study. The kitchen/breakfast room has a range cooker, pantries and a butler’s kitchen/utility room, dining room, utility, cloakroom and custom-built wine cellar.

The garden/family room has a door to the back garden and the landscaped gardens include a large terrace, lawn with surrounding hedge and gravelled off-road driveway with parking for several cars.

Jacqui Torrance, of agents Finders Keepers, said: “This property combines formal elegance with all the comforts of a family home. It has been sensitively restored with French-polished stairs and stained glass windows created to the original pattern.

“There are seven bedrooms over the first and second floors, so there is plenty of room for a live-in nanny or au pair and also for having friends and family to stay. With a door leading out to the terrace, the dining room is absolutely ideal for entertaining.

“The garden is exquisite and has been beautifully landscaped with a formal terrace and as the house is set back from the road, it is surprisingly peaceful.

“It is also within easy walking distance of The Dragon School and is well placed for all Oxford’s other renowned schools and colleges.”

The house is available, unfurnished, from the end of July for £8,995 per month. For more information, contact Finders Keepers on 01865 311011 or visit finderskeepers.co.uk
