Beautiful, Safe, Upmarket Area. Quick bus or cycle to town centre. Country walks nearby.. Garden. Own bathroom. Driveway parking. Nice, friendly, easy-going, considerate housemates. Stylish fully equipped kitchen-diner. Lounge, Loft storage.

The house is in Cumnor, West Oxford. It is an ideal location, with the best of both worlds. Quick & easy access to Oxford Centre by bike, bus and car. Yet with nearby beautiful country walks

The bus-stop is 3 minutes from the house. Coming from the house the roads are relatively quiet and then there is a bus lane so it's safe to cycle and takes only 15 minutes to get to the train station or 18 to Westgate. We are within the SmartZone so tickets cost a maximum of £2, like elsewhere in Oxford. There are currently roadworks by the train station which slow down the journey to the town centre but they end on 23rd October.

There are also direct buses to Abingdon, Didcot, Wallingford and Wantage from the nearby bus-stop.

You will be sharing with a friendly, easy-going couple, Andrea and Dan. We are academics, teaching philosophy for Oxford University Department for Continuing Education.

The room is large, bright and has patio doors onto the garden. It has its own entrance and a separate storage room with shelves and hanging rail.

The garden backs onto a field, often populated with sheep. There is a white marble table and metal chairs on the patio....

The kitchen has real granite work surfaces and real maple kitchen units and dining table. There is a large fridge-freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer, gas cooker, microwave, dishwasher and plenty of storage for pans, crockery, food etc.. Pans, crockery, cutlery etc supplied. There are patio doors opening from the dining area onto the patio and garden.

Cycling from the house into town - the area near Oxford Train Station - averages 15 minutes if you are reasonably fit and have a decent bike (20 minutes otherwise). On the way home it is 20 minutes, due to the hill. This is the best way round as it means you can quickly get into work in the morning, and then get some exercise coming up the hill on the way home! :) Coming from the house the roads are initially wide and relatively quiet, and then once there is more traffic there is a cycle lane. So it is much quicker, safer and more enjoyable than cycling up the clogged and narrow Cowley Road.

Only 10 minutes cycle from Brookes Harcourt Campus.

The house has driveway car parking available for tenants. There is easy access to the ring road and thence to Oxford, Culham, Milton, Abingdon, Didcot, Witney etc. The house is in a cul-de-sac so there is no through traffic.

No smoking. No pets (other than pets which can be kept in the garden - eg rabbit in a hutch).

The current tenant leaves on I August - and we are open to someone taking the room anytime between then and the end of September.

Please get in touch to arrange a viewing (whether in person or via Skype).
