Herschel Crescent, Oxford £495,000

This is a home with real heart. From the bold front door to the beautifully curated interiors, this three-bedroom house blends personality with practicality effortlessly. We love the flow from the living spaces through to the light-filled kitchen, the generous garden with its substantial garage, and the sense that every corner has been thoughtfully cared for. It’s a home that feels both creative and comfortable — perfect for modern living.

You’re welcomed through the striking red front door into a vibrant and inviting hallway. Patterned tiled flooring immediately sets the tone, paired with warm wall colours and plenty of natural light. The staircase rises neatly ahead, while doors lead through to the main living areas, creating a lovely sense of flow and openness.

To the front of the house sits a cosy yet stylish sitting room, centred around the bay window which draws in plenty of daylight. This space feels intimate and perfect for relaxing evenings, with real wooden flooring and character features adding to its charm.

This brand new kitchen is a real highlight — modern, practical and full of light. Sleek grey cabinetry is paired with quality worktops and integrated appliances, while open shelving adds both storage and character along with the wooden flooring. A large skylight and glazed doors flood the space with natural light and open directly onto the garden, effortlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. The dining room offers a wonderful place to gather, with space for a large table and easy access to the kitchen beyond. The connection between these rooms makes the layout ideal for entertaining as well as everyday family life.

On the first floor the property offers three well proportioned bedrooms and the main bathroom. The Master double bedroom is calm and inviting, with plenty of space for storage in the built in wardrobes and a large window overlooking the front. The second bedroom is a comfortable double, ideal for guests or family. The third bedroom works perfectly as a single room, nursery or home office, offering flexibility for modern lifestyles. The bathroom has been tastefully updated with a contemporary finish. Large-format tiling, a walk-in shower, modern vanity unit and stylish fittings create a clean, calming space that feels both practical and luxurious.

The rear garden is a real asset — thoughtfully landscaped with a generous paved terrace for dining and entertaining with space for a fire pit, alongside a lawned area for relaxation or play. To the side of the garden sits a substantial garage, providing excellent storage or workshop potential, with access ideal for bikes, tools or creative projects.
