Interior
This stylish canal-side apartment was recently refurbished to do justice to its unique location. Designed with a professional person or couple in mind, the two bedrooms are furnished as a double bedroom and a study/home office.
The long hallway leads past the bedroom, study, shower room and two storage closets to a beautiful living room that opens out onto a terrace with wide views of gardens, trees, Oxford Canal and Castle Mill Stream.
The spacious living room/kitchen has bamboo flooring and plenty of natural light. The sitting area features a comfortable sofa, two armchairs, coffee table, floor rug and a lamp, and the dining area has a round table with four chairs. The windows have blackout blinds and floor-length white voiles.
The adjoining kitchen area is fitted with matt white units, wooden worktops, ample drawer and cupboard storage and energy-efficient appliances – an oven, induction hob, extractor fan, microwave, fridge-freezer, clothes washer-dryer and slimline dishwasher.
The paved terrace faces south-west and is the perfect spot to enjoy a beautiful sunset or watch the narrowboats go by. It has a garden table and two chairs, planters, an outside tap and clothes line. Gardening equipment and other outdoor items can be stored in a large lockable cupboard outside the front door for the exclusive use of this apartment.
The bamboo flooring continues along the corridor and into the medium-sized bedroom and small study. The double bedroom has pretty views across gardens and is furnished with a wooden double bed and bedside units, antique chest of drawers, large wall mirror, bedside lights and built-in clothes hanging. The study has a desk and chair, two bookshelves and a triple wardrobe with full length mirror. Both the bedroom and study have opaque blinds and blackout curtains.
The shower room is a wet room with electric shower, recessed pump, extractor fan, WC, handbasin and mirrored wall cabinet. It has 4 chrome towel rails and waterproof flooring.
The flat is double-glazed and draught-proofed throughout and was upgraded with an efficient new gas boiler, electricity-saving appliances and lighting, bamboo flooring and environmentally-friendly fabrics, finishes and fittings. It falls into Council Tax Band D. Tenants are responsible for utilities bills and will take over an existing high-speed broadband service.
Outside and parking
The apartment is in a purpose-built 1970s block. It has a secure communal entrance with door entry phone system and access to the first-floor walkway by stairs or ramp. Residents can park bicycles in indoor cycle racks on the ground floor. Bin stores are accessed from the street.
The communal canal-side garden with lawns and shrubs is maintained by Oxford City Council. On-street resident parking permits can be bought directly from Oxfordshire County Council.
Location
Situated on the first floor of a small 1970s block in a quiet residential street in the heart of Jericho, the apartment is a 4-minute walk from Walton Street’s shops, cafes, restaurants, cinema and health centre, 13 minutes from Oxford coach station and the city centre, and 10 minutes along the canal towpath to Oxford railway station.
At one end of Canal Street is Mount Place, a peaceful public garden, towards the other is the spectacular St Barnabas Church, and across the road is a cosy alehouse that serves excellent food. A canal footbridge at one end of the block offers access to delightful towpath walks to Oxford city centre or Wolvercote village or across Port Meadow to the River Thames.
