Selling a house on Osney Island? I’m looking to buy!
Hi, my name is Paul Hughes and I lived on Osney Island back in 2005 and was a resident through the floods of 2007. I now have an ever increasing family and would like to move back to the Osney Island. If any residents are contemplating a move away and are thinking of selling their property, my wife and I would be very interested in talking to you! We are looking for a minimum of 3 bedrooms and upstairs bathroom. Please contact me on 07760 281432 or 01865 721389 or firstofficerhughes@gmail.com.
About Osney Island
Osney Island is one of Oxford’s best-kept secrets. Located to the west of the city only minutes from the railway station and just off the busy Botley Road, it’s a small ‘village’ of some 300 households surrounded on all sides by the Thames and the Osney Stream.
Walk over the footbridge and drop down to the Island you are immediately in another world with boats, wildlife and the tranquillity of the river. It really is an island in the centre of Oxford.
Shaped like an old-fashioned belt buckle, streets named after the points of the compass provide its frame with Bridge St the prong in the middle. Most of the houses are small terraced homes – but you’d be amazed how inventive people have been in making the most of small spaces.
The population of Osney Island is an eclectic mix of people. Some have been born and bred here, others are commuters, academics, artists. We all enjoy the very special community spirit.
