Located in a peaceful part of north Oxford, this three/four-bedroom house demonstrates many of the tenets of mid-century design. It unfolds over several thoughtfully delineated yet connected spaces, with wide windows that provide views of surrounding trees. Timber features throughout, in Birch-faced plywood-fronted built-in wardrobes and in a striking Walnut veneer staircase encasement. Unfolding seamlessly from the kitchen is a rear garden with a space for seating and plenty of scope for further planting. A 16-minute drive or 12-minute cycle from the house, Oxford's city centre is easily reached.
