On the first floor, there is a large family bathroom with a freestanding roll-top bath and separate shower overlooking the rear garden, two bedrooms including the 17ft principal bedroom with a period fireplace and views towards the river.

There is currently a shed and veg patch. The garden is unusual in having rear access via an alleyway from West Street and has the potential to extend the shed footprint subject to consent..
Osney Island is a highly desirable location with a strong sense of community and superb pubs. It is ideally placed for the rail station and a wide range of local shopping on Botley Road. It is a community of around 300 households, on an island surrounded by the River Thames and smaller streams. The island can be accessed by just one road bridge and three-foot bridges, which makes it relatively quiet. It is populated with mostly Victorian terraces but there are pleasant towpath walks and nearby parks and recreation areas. There is a neighbourly atmosphere, and two lively pubs, The Punter and The Hollybush.
