The Towing Path

Extraordinary riverside home set in 1.44 acres of delightful gardens and grounds and surrounded by a nature reserve, offering the unique proposition of spacious rural living with the city on your doorstep.

Charming characterful accommodation arranged over three floors with potential to create two further bedrooms in the sizable partially converted roofspace. Cosy intimate spaces with woodburning stoves are complemented by larger open plan rooms ideal for entertaining.

The grounds and setting of this property are undoubtedly major features. The formal gardens immediately to the rear of the house include a koi carp pond and space for al fresco dining, beyond which is a wild orchard and a further paddock of private meadow, all of which are securely fenced.

A detached ‘Dutch Barn’ style outbuilding provides garden studio or office space and a quaint shepherd hut sits amongst the trees in the orchard.

Vehicular access to the property is provided by a driveway accessed from Donnington Bridge and there is off road parking for up to five cars on the property. The Thames towpath immediately to the front of the house forms part of the national cycle network and provides easy access to the city centre within 10 minutes by bike.

The property occupies a wonderful riverside setting on a stretch of the River Thames known as The Isis near to Iffley Lock, little more than a mile from Oxford city centre and just half a mile walk from Iffley Village with its community shop, two public houses and hotel. The house sits at the start of Oxford's rowing regattas, all of which can be enjoyed from the front garden and balcony.
