Description

We have a house that is ideal for visiting academics to Oxford and for exploration of England. I have been for years a Grad student at Oxford (English& History) and my husband has strong interest in History, so the house has a good library and quiet conditions for study. He is a former World Champion of Real Tennis (the first racquet sport) and together we run the court and club at nearby Radley College. We have a collection of books and memorabilia relating to the game. Our house is on a bus route into central Oxford, but we have bikes you can use to get around. A large car may also be available. We will definitely be away from 1 August 2025 to end of May 2026, but may do additional travelling, so the house may be available longer or for an entire academic year. A wing of the house is self-contained and has 2 or 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms and all is as stylish as the main house. It may be available instead or as well, together with a two-seater sports car. I have a small property lettings business and aim to be the best landlord anyone could have. My properties are immaculate and I shall aim to leave any house I live in at least as clean and tidy as I found it, or even better! I would be delighted if anyone resident is able to manage any little bits of DIY, gardening etc to keep the place respectable. More importantly, I am conscious of climate change and will be grateful if residents can do what they can to mitigate by recycling and not wasting.
