Elegant house in historic Oxford - Oxford home swap
The world famous, historic city of Oxford, is surrounded by beautiful countryside, rivers and meadows. We live in a large and elegant house at the end of a traditional Victorian terrace in South Oxford. Even though it is only a 15 minute walk to Christ Church in town, our house has superb views over the river and open countryside.

South Oxford is a quiet, traditional and friendly neighbourhood with exceptional facilities. Just a five minute stroll from our house there is a beautiful 30's well heated open air lido (open April - September) Adjoining it are tennis courts and outside table tennis, and a boating lake. If you fork left over the railway bridge you are in open countryside.

If the weather is cool there is an indoor pool with gym, sauna and steam room in the nearby hotel. Alongside this hotel is a pathway leading to the beautiful river Thames. In one direction you find historic Iffley village with a John Piper church, the other, Oxford City. The centre of town can also be accessed by a bus from the bottom of our road every 10 minutes. We have excellent local pubs with decent food a five minute stroll away. On the way in to town you will pass the lovely old steamer cruise boat to Abingdon, Christchurch meadow and the cathedral. Once in town there is so much to see and do. Visit the world famous Bodleian library or see a classical concert at the Sheldonian. Great arts centres, alternative theatres, cinemas, and music venues. Colleges to explore. Marvellous museums and galleries, including the newly refurbished Ashmolean. Take a punting trips and navigate through the peaceful city backwaters. We have bikes which you are able to borrow.
Oxford City centre is small enough to explore on foot.
