The Old Dean's House | House in Oxford
4 Bedroom House in Oxford
The Old Dean's House is one of Oxford's most characterful addresses - a handsome Victorian property set within the private grounds of Wycliffe Hall, in the heart of elegant North Oxford. With four bedrooms sleeping up to eight, a secluded walled garden, and a quiet tree-lined setting just moments from the city's world-famous colleges, this is Oxford as it should be experienced.
The home strikes the perfect balance: peaceful enough for academics, remote workers, or families wanting a genuine retreat, yet perfectly placed for everything Oxford has to offer. University Parks - one of England's most beautiful urban green spaces - is directly across the street. The Ashmolean Museum, Bodleian Library, and Radcliffe Camera are a 12-15 minute walk. Jericho, Oxford's bohemian quarter with its independent cafes, restaurants, and the Phoenix Cinema, is around the corner.
