Fashionable Summertown is a short drive or bus ride away, and hosts several cafes & restaurants.

The second floor has the fourth double bedroom, equipped with desk, and a small en-suite shower room - we are not including this in the let as this is where the cat sleeps!. From the garden gate you can walk directly to the local pub, the canal or over a picturesque railway bridge to access Port Meadow, views of which can be seen from the top of the house. Misty mornings and sunsets are particularly spectacular. The garden has outside table and chairs seating 8. We still have some books and board games for younger children.
