Property description

This Grade II listed Victorian terraced townhouse is located in the desirable gated development of St. George’s Manor once serving as a hospital with communal gardens. Light & airy, this is a lovely property in a beautifully maintained development. The peace and tranquillity of the property is astounding, a lush green haven of beautiful trees and exquisite lawns perfectly kept by gardeners. All one can hear is the singing of the birds, though the busyness and stimulation of the historic university town of Oxford is just a riverside walk away.Inside, generous ceilings of three metres in height grant the property a grandeur of its own, while large windows create light and spacious living spaces. Built in 1864, the building has a long heritage, and original features such as the recently restored floorboards and the cobbled courtyard remain. The weightiness of history is evident in the Victorian building, with its views of the old watchtower, but the interior is comfortable and contemporary. Though the property has its own private cobbled yard, it is the communal garden spaces which make this development truly special. There is a wonderful sense of community in St. George’s Manor as a whole, with initiatives such as the regular breakfast groups which enable residents to meet and get to know one another. The communal spaces are conducive to sociability, and residents are often to be found having picnics or barbecues together on the lawns or enjoying a post-dinner drink with neighbours in one of the quadrangles or amongst the Cedar of Lebanon trees. A community vegetable garden has also recently been planted. Popular with artists and musicians, St. George’s Manor has a friendly atmosphere, but the shared living area is respectfully done and also permits privacy and there is no intrusion on residents’ peace and quiet. St. George’s Manor is situated to the east of the city, just outside the ring road providing very good access to Oxford, including the Business and Science Parks, as well as the wider road and motorway network. London is easily accessible by coach or rail.
