About our home

Totally refurbished in 2010 inside and out, our traditional red brick North Oxford house sits in its own garden. With wooden floors and Farrow and Ball colours throughout, our large open plan kitchen opens into a sitting area and dining room and is at the heart of the house, with a big Smeg oven for cooks and a double sided fireplace in the centre. Light, bright, so quiet you hear the birds at night, yet you are five minutes walk to the University parks and fifteen to the centre of town.

Buzzy restaurants
