A unique and beautifully presented historic townhouse in a prime central location in Oxford. Offered to the market chain free.

This striking Regency townhouse is located in a highly desirable city centre location and has been thoughtfully renovated and extended in 2002 and further improved by the current owners. The property combines elegant period features, including cornicing, fireplaces, sash windows with shutters and high ceilings, with well-designed contemporary living spaces. A particularly distinctive feature is the lower ground floor, believed to form part of the original crypt beneath Beaumont Palace. This atmospheric space now provides a spacious open-plan sitting and dining area with natural light from a partially glazed roof, together with a laundry room and wet room. The ground floor includes a reception hall, an elegant study or sitting room with fireplace, and a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room opening onto the courtyard garden. The upper floors provide three double bedrooms, a dressing room and two bathrooms. In addition, a flexible section of the property with its own independent entrance provides two further bedrooms and a bathroom, ideal as a self-contained annexe, guest accommodation or additional family space. To the rear is a private west-facing walled courtyard garden with side access to the adjoining lane.

St John’s Street is a particularly elegant and sought-after address in central Oxford. Quiet and steeped in character, the street is distinguished by its beautifully preserved run of uniform Georgian townhouses, creating a harmonious and architecturally striking setting. Perfectly tucked away from the bustle of the city centre, the street connects the leafy surroundings of Wellington Square with the cultural heart of Beaumont Street. Its calm atmosphere, combined with its proximity to Oxford’s historic colleges, museums, and theatres, makes it one of the city’s more discreet yet highly desirable residential locations.
