Overview

Set on a quiet residential street in East Oxford, Howards Way is a beautifully presented two-bedroom Victorian terrace that combines period character with considered, contemporary style. Positioned on Howard Street — midway between the vibrant Iffley Road and the cosmopolitan Cowley Road — it's a home that feels genuinely lived-in and personal rather than a standard rental.

The interiors are warm and thoughtfully styled throughout. Solid oak floors, a terracotta accent wall and an original cast-iron fireplace anchor the sitting room, which is furnished with a large comfortable sofa, a mid-century armchair and built-in bookshelves — a space that invites guests to properly relax. A bold blue tile accent runs as a design signature through both kitchen and bathroom, giving the house a curated character that sets it apart.

The kitchen is well-equipped for home cooking, with white shaker units, oak worktops, a full-size oven and induction hob, dishwasher, full-size fridge-freezer and a four-seat dining area with direct access to the rear garden. Upstairs, the double bedroom is a calm, comfortable principal room; the single bedroom is a charming compact second space, ideal for a solo traveller, child or third guest.

Everything the city has to offer.

East Oxford's independent restaurants, cafés and bars are just minutes away on the Cowley Road, and Oxford city centre is easily reached by frequent bus services from both the Iffley Road and Cowley Road. An ideal base for a long weekend or a longer working stay in Oxford.
