Description

24 Lathbury Road is a well-presented Edwardian house of more than 3,800 sq ft, arranged over three floors with a self-contained annex. The rooms are generous, with high ceilings and broad bay windows typical of the period. The plan is straightforward and works well for family life, home working or multigenerational use.

The house has been in the same ownership for over forty years and has been carefully maintained. The ground floor has a wide hall, two bright reception rooms with fireplaces, and a 30-foot kitchen and dining room that opens directly to the secure garden. It provides the main day-to-day living space, with ample room for cooking, dining and family use. There is access to the separate utility building and the annex.
The upper floors provide six bedrooms. The first floor has two large principal rooms and two further doubles. The top floor has two large doubles, a shower room and a small kitchen, which works well for older children, guests or semi-independent living.

A particular strength of the property is the purpose-built annex, currently used as a professional office. It offers a bright studio room, a study, and a wet room. It is equally suited to home working, creative use or private guest accommodation. In addition, there is a garden store and an Alitex heated greenhouse / conservatory.

The garden is designed for ease of maintenance, with established borders, a children’s play area and space for outdoor dining. There is lighting, power and an automatic watering system at both front and rear. The front garden provides off-street parking, raised beds, an electric charging point and a secure, serviced bike and bin store.

Lathbury Road lies within the North Oxford Victorian Conservation Area. The house is within a mile of the city centre and Oxford station, with Oxford Parkway to the north. It is convenient for the Oxford schools, both universities and the hospital quarter. Port Meadow is half a mile away, and nearby Summertown offers a wide range of shops, cafés and restaurants.
