Large 5 Bed, 3 Bathroom, City Oasis with Parking

Modern, light, incredibly spacious home. Peaceful residential cul-de-sac, 2.4 miles from the centre of Oxford. Off road parking for 4 cars/3 vans. Many visitors to the house have referred to it as the Tardis and to quote our friends "it just goes on and on". The house has been generously extended over the years and was refurbished from top to bottom, prior to launching as a holiday let. Sky tv (in both lounges) & free super fast broadband. Ideal for families, friends or colleagues alike.
