This distinctive two-bedroom apartment, with one bedroom accessed by a spiral staircase, is enviably positioned on North Parade in the heart of Central North Oxford, this exceptional home offers a unique blend of charm, versatility and contemporary city convenience.

The apartment is approached through a welcoming entrance, providing useful space for shoes and coats, with a staircase leading to the main accommodation. A spacious hallway benefits from fitted shelving, creating excellent additional storage and a sense of order as you enter the property.

At the heart of the apartment is the impressive reception room with ceilings of over four metres and full-height, double-glazed bay windows. The exceptional proportions and abundance of natural light create a wonderfully bright living space. The reception room flows naturally into the adjoining kitchen.

An additional feature is the stunning wrought-iron spiral staircase, which leads to a mezzanine level. This living space could equally lend itself to a home office, reading room or occasional sleeping accommodation. A Velux window floods the mezzanine with daylight, while security blinds are fitted to all windows throughout the apartment. There is a practical fully tiled shower room.

Ideally suited to those seeking a characterful Central North Oxford home, this remarkable apartment offers an opportunity to enjoy period architecture, an exceptional location and a highly individual interior in one of Oxford's most sought-after areas.

The apartment will be sold as a Share of Freehold with the specifics of the Service Charge and Ground Rent to be negotiated concurrently with any purchases. The entire Freehold, which consists of two further properties, is also available for purchase.
