2 bed flat for sale

Woodstock Road, Oxford, Oxfordshire OX2

Glade House is a small boutique development on Woodstock Road. It was shortlisted in the riba South Awards 2024 for its design. The building pairs pale brick with weathered vertical timber cladding and a standing-seam upper storey, and a full-height glazed stair core runs through the centre. It's a calm, considered piece of architecture set back from the road behind established planting.

The flat is located on the first floor and provides 69.5 sqm (748 sq ft) of well-planned living space. At the heart of the home is a generous open-plan living, dining and kitchen area of 6.82m x 4.74m (22.4' x 15.6'). Laminate wood-effect flooring and recessed downlighting run throughout this space. Floor-to-ceiling glazed doors bring in plenty of natural light and lead out to a private recessed balcony. Bronze-toned vertical slats screen the terrace, and it looks out over mature trees. The kitchen is fitted with sleek handleless units in a soft oak-effect finish, with a vibrant green glass splashback and integrated appliances. These include an eye-level oven, a combination microwave oven, an induction hob and a stainless steel chimney extractor. Both bedrooms are good-sized doubles.

The principal bedroom measures 3.01m x 3.68m (9.9' x 12.1') and has a built-in double wardrobe with oak sliding doors. The second bedroom measures 3.36m x 3.07m (11.0' x 10.1') and works equally well as an additional bedroom or home office. The bathroom is finished in large-format stone-effect tiles. It has a bath with a thermostatic shower and glass screen, a wall-hung WC with concealed cistern, and a floating vanity unit. An entrance hall connects the rooms, and two separate utility cupboards add useful storage.

Outside, the flat has one allocated parking space with electric vehicle charging capability. There is also a secure communal bike store and a communal bin store.

Woodstock Road is one of North Oxford's most sought-after addresses. The independent shops, cafés, restaurants and supermarkets of Summertown are within easy reach, and the green spaces of Wolvercote and Port Meadow are close by. Families are well placed for some of Oxford's best-known independent schools. St Edward's School is a short distance away on Woodstock Road itself. Summer Fields and The Dragon School are nearby in North Oxford, and Oxford High School is a little further south. Buses into the city centre run along Woodstock Road, and Oxford Parkway station and the A34/A40 are nearby.
