The Freewoman

In a city as historic as Oxford, famous buildings and heritage sites are around every corner. You'll find this cosy apartment on one of the city's most iconic and picturesque residential streets – noted figures like Harriet Shaw Weaver, John Edward Campbell and Sir Richard Doll all called this road home. It's the perfect spot for exploring this scholarly area, as Oxford's bustling centre and its array of pubs, landmarks and colleges are just a few minutes away by bus (or a twenty-minute walk if you want to stretch your legs). After a long day filled with sightseeing, book browsing and delicious eats, come home and unwind in this stylish apartment. Sink into the sumptuous sofas with a glass of wine and a good book, whip up a meal in the sleek kitchen or, when the weather is nice, retreat to the private garden for alfresco drinks in the evening sun. We love the traditional, sophisticated style inside – features like the original fireplace have been lovingly preserved, but white walls, gold accents and a stylish contemporary kitchen keep things modern. Whether you're snoozing in the comfortable bedrooms, relaxing under the rainfall shower or working remotely at the desk, this Oxford flat is sure to have you feeling right at home in no time.

Home truths:
*This apartment is on the ground floor and is all on one level, making it an excellent option for those with limited mobility
*There' a communal hallway in the entrance, so it's not entirely private
*The super king bed can be split into two singles on request
*There's one off-road parking spot available
*There's a desk in the master bedroom that's currently set up as a vanity – the dining table can also be used as a laptop-friendly workspace
*You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started
*For longer stays, you'll need to stock up on toilet paper and other basic essentials
