About this property

Epicentre of Oxford: Luxury Apartment near University and Westgate Centre

Our 2 bedroom apartment in Faulkner Street is for those who want to be in the epicenter of Oxford. You are within sight of Christchurch College, next door to the new Westgate Shopping Centre and the fashionable Castle Complex, 5 minutes walk from the High Street and University colleges and 10 minutes from the Said Business School.

Faulkner Apartment is surprisingly quiet for such a central location, with a cycle path on one side and a cul-de-sac on the other. You can see the top of the spire of Pembroke College from the sitting room sofa and, when the leaves fall off the trees, Christchurch Colleges Tom Tower comes into view.

The interiors are designed with an artistic blend of ultramodern and antique. It has 20th century artworks on the walls, Persian rugs on the wooden floors and 18th to 21st century furniture. Faulkner is on the top floor (second floor) with windows on three sides. It feels light and airy and catches the sun all day.

The sitting room and the spacious master bedroom overlook the communal garden. The second bedroom is small, with a small double bed (4ft) and a fold-down work table. It looks west over the cul-de-sac towards the roof terrace of the Westgate Centre. There is a well-equipped kitchen with oak dining table, fully integrated appliances and stainless steel finish.
The kitchen is a food lover’s delight with an array utensils for the serious cook.

The sitting room has soft cream sofa and beautiful rug on the wooden floors. A glass coffee table allows you to lounge of an evening with your drinks watching the TV. The sitting room also has some beautiful pieces of antique furniture and original artworks on the walls.

The bathroom has wooden floors and a bath and integral shower. Both bedrooms have blackout blinds, as well as curtains, for those who need their sleep. There is super-fast fibre optic broadband and a Flat Screen TV.

About the host

Hosted by Folly Bridge House Manager

Host profile image

I am a writer and photographer and my Faulkner Apartment has some of my photographs as well as artworks from my partner's collection. I love my apartment for its warmth, quietness and closeness to the best things in Oxford. These days I live just upstream from Oxford on an island in the Thames but I love coming into the city. My passion now, in this era of climate change and global inequity, is to see how far one can make something beautiful and luxurious and at the same time contribute to an environmental and fair trade ethos.

Why they chose this property

Faulkner Apartment is almost as close as you can get to the centre of Oxford. You can walk out the back and in a minute be drinking sundowners on the top terrace of the new Westgate Centre with all the dreaming spires spread out before you. Walk out the front and in 2 minutes you are in Christchurch Meadows with Christchurch Cathedral, Magdalen College and the Botanical Gardens before you. The shops, cinemas and theatres are right by the apartment and long river walks are only 5 minutes down the road. The train station and Said Business School are 10 minutes walk.

What makes this property unique

What I love about this flat is that you are in the very centre of Oxford but it is quiet and sunny. The artworks on the walls which are from my partner's collection of 20th century art (and includes a few of my photographs) give it a special feel. I've stocked the kitchen for the serious foodie... with high quality saucepans and everything you might need to cook up a storm
