69 Observatory Street is an impressive Victorian terraced house, updated and kept in lovely condition by the current owners. It is set over four floors, with ample proportions and high ceilings throughout. It is the largest, or certainly one of the largest in one of Oxford's most attractive streets.
The ground floor layout consists of an entrance hallway, bright and spacious sitting room, further reception / dining area and kitchen at the back. There is also a ground floor WC. Below ground floor level is a full height and properly converted basement, perfect for a fourth bedroom, study or TV room.
On the first floor, there are two double bedrooms and family bathroom, with a rolltop bath and separate shower. The top floor is also a double bedroom, with en-suite. The top floor has views of the chimney pots to the back of Walton Manor and then onto Wytham hills and woods, as well as an Observatory view which is a lovely feature of the house, also seen from the first floor.
To the rear of the house is a well designed and maintained garden that is walled with the bonus of rear vehicular access off Adelaide Street with an off road parking space.
Owner’s Comment:
The location and scale of this charming house have been perfect for us for the past fourteen years. We have loved having the shops and restaurants of Jericho literally at the end of the road, and being able to easily walk to our regular train to London. The nearby University Parks and Port Meadow have given us a sense of beauty and freedom. Inside the house, we enjoy the calm - lying in the garden with a book, you would not know you were in such a central spot and the discreet parking space at the back is a bonus too. With a surprisingly generous interior, it has proved more than large enough to give us all our own space and distance.
