Bennett Crescent

A beautifully converted maisonette in a Victorian chapel building, set within the secluded residential development of Bennett Crescent at the edge of historic Temple Cowley.

The hallway with wooden beams and spiral staircase leads to the upper level, which contains a superb 31 sq m living and dining room and a separate, well-proportioned kitchen, both with views of sky and mature trees.

On the lower level is a large master bedroom with ensuite and a second double bedroom, as well as a storage closet and a further family bathroom. The original stained-glass windows have been fully updated with secondary glazing and interior wooden shutters, and both bathrooms have been completely refurbished in 2023.

Outside, the property is accessed via a front path within the development. There is secure communal bike storage and an allocated parking space to the front of the house.

With its retained period features and high ceilings, The Old Chapel offers an ideal combination of historical appeal and versatile, contemporary living.

The Old Chapel is located in the Temple Cowley Conservation Area, within 5 minutes’ walking distance to local supermarkets and bus stops and half a mile from the Oxford ring road. There are easy, direct transport links by car, bicycle and bus to central Oxford/railway station, the Cowley Road, Headington hospitals, the Business and Science parks, Thornhill Park & Ride and the A40/London.

Built in 1870 on land with medieval connections to the Knights Templar, the original chapel initially formed part of Oxford Military College, which later became the site of Morris Motors and the Nuffield Press, before Bennett Crescent’s residential development in 1998.
