Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

Our home is a four-storey Victorian house, a short walk away from the centre of the historic city of Oxford, which is famous for its University and is one of the most visited places in Britain. It's great for culture, sightseeing, museums, concerts and shopping. Oxford is surrounded by beautiful countryside for many great walks or cycle rides. Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare, is about one hour's drive away, and you can get to the centre of London in 1.5 hours by coach, a 24-hour service which leaves from near us. Bristol, Bath, and Warwick Castle are also within easy reach.
There are five bedrooms, most with wooden floors and period features, and two bathrooms. The master bedroom has a small conservatory. We have a music room with grand piano, a modern kitchen, and a patio with a barbeque. We have extended our family with a very playful young black cat, which would need feeding.

Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

We live a short walk away from the centre of Oxford with its historic buildings, colleges and churches. Very close to us is a big children's playground and a nature reserve which is good for walking or jogging. Just cross a bridge and go for a stroll along the Thames, watching some college rowing. There are a few small supermarkets nearby, and Cowley Road, full of ethnic shops and great little restaurants, is only 5 minutes away. Oxford is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is situated on the Thames which has towpaths perfect for cycle-rides (4 big bikes, 2 small ones available).

Attractions

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare, is about one hour's drive away, as is beautiful Warwick Castle, and you can get to the centre of London in 1.5 hours by coach, a 24-hour service which leaves from near us. By train it's an hour. In an hour and a half's drive you can get to Windsor Castle, or visit Legoland in Windsor. Just over an hour's drive gets you to the Warner Bros studios for a visit to the Harry Potter sets.
