Isis Cottage The property occupies a delightful riverside setting on the banks of the River Thames by Iffley Lock and set within 1.4 acres of the Iffley Meadows Nature Reserve. It represents a rare opportunity to acquire a unique property in a special and protected conservation area of Oxford ‐ a secluded rural idyll yet with easy access to Iffley village and with Oxford city centre just over a mile away.

The house sits at the start of Oxford's rowing regattas, all of which can be enjoyed from the front garden and balconies. The cottage has accommodation on two floors with the front door opening onto a lobby with two good sized reception rooms and the kitchen/breakfast room to the rear. All the ground floor rooms have stone floors and there are woodburning stoves in both reception rooms. The kitchen has a solid fuel Rayburn cooker and two pairs of French doors to the rear garden. All the ground floor windows are fitted with bespoke plantation shutters. The first floor has the master bedroom with a shower room en‐suite and there are two further bedrooms, both over looking the river and one enjoying both front and rear balconies. There is also a family bathroom. The landing has a door out to the front balcony from which to enjoy river views. There is a large attic space which is partially renovated and could provide further accommodation, subject to usual consents.

The landscaped gardens to the rear are particularly attractive, with a charming patio which is shaded by grape vines, fig and damson trees. There are two large outhouses currently used for storage ‐ one with planning permission granted for a summerhouse. Beyond the rear garden there is a wild orchard and beyond lies a private water meadow, enclosed by the Iffley Meadows Nature Reserve. This is home to many wild flowers and managed by Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust. There is a carport and driveway which leads onto the private track across Iffley Meadows which provides vehicle access from Donnington Bridge.
