Property Details

Description:
A superb family house with charming gardens in this conservation village. Completed in 1990 and set well back from the road with a delightful mature garden to the rear, the house offers excellent family accommodation over three floors with an emphasis on space and light.
Iffley village offers an unusual combination of both urban and rural delights. Oxford city centre can easily be reached either by regular buses from Iffley Turn or by bicycle or on foot along the river towpath that enters the city at Folly Bridge. The ring road is several minutes drive away and from there it is only a short distance to the M40 and other major routes.
Shopping is available either within the village at the excellent community run village shop with thrice weekly fresh bread delivery, organic local meat and a basic post office facility, or at either of the two major supermarkets n++ Sainsburyn++ s at Heyford Hill or Tescon++ s at the Cowley Roundabout. The Coop at Rose Hill n++ a short walk away n++ is currently being enlarged and updated. The Cowley Centre at Templarsn++ Square contains many useful outlets including B & Q, Asda Living, Matalan, TKMaxx, Halfords and there is ample free parking on site. Further afield, the Cowley Road offers the most eclectic range of shops in the city.
There is an excellent doctorsn++ surgery n++ The Donnington Health Centre n++ on Henley Avenue with its own pharmacy and a wide range of specialist clinics. Temple Cowley library has withstood the recent cuts and offers a good range of books, videos and CDn++ s. Sports centres can be found both at Temple Cowley and at the David Lloyd Centre five minutes drive from the village.
Iffley has its own hotel n++ The Hawkwell House n++ which is set in attractive large grounds and this has proved to be extremely useful as a base for visiting overseas visitors while we have lived in the village. It also has two pubs that serve food:
The Tree and The Prince of Wales and the very popular if slightly eccentric Isis Farmhouse on the river just past Iffley lock is now open for business once more with a small range of home cooked food and delicious cakes and also hosts more unusual music events in its lovely gardens. The highly rated Magdalen Arms is about a ten minute walk away from the village towards town and makes an excellent destination either for a coffee and cake or snack lunch or full meal. It is next door to the recently refurbished Pegasus Theatre n++ the hub of youth drama and dance in Oxford n++ and a great place for teenagers to get involved and enjoy themselves.
The village itself offers many societies for meeting people and learning new things. The beautiful Norman Church featured in Pevsnern++ s Buildings of England is extremely active. There is also the Friends of Iffley Village, The Iffley Music Society, The Iffley Historical Society and several book groups. Montessori run an international nursery school in the village hall and the top rated Magdalen College School n++ boys throughout and girls in the sixth form n++ is a short bike ride away down the Iffley Road.
Wildlife is an attractive feature of living in Iffley too. Our garden is visited regularly by muntjac deer, squirrels, foxes, hedgehog and a myriad of birds including jays and green woodpeckers and the local red kite often circle overhead. The whole area is remarkably peaceful and more like living in the countryside than only a stonen++ s throw from the centre of Oxford.
