About this property

Pass the Keys | Modern, Chic 2BR Townhouse in Central Oxford

It's hard to believe that this chic, spacious 2 bedroom townhouse was once the old railway cottage, built in 1916 to house the workers building the English railway.

In 2017 we renovated our home to an exceptional standard introducing a brand new kitchen, heated floors, skylights and a bi-folding door.

Perfectly located just a short walk from the Historic City Centre and College Grounds and under a 5 minute walk to Oxford Station.

This property is managed by a professional co-host of Airbnb.
Services include: Professional Cleaning / Hotel Quality Linen / Fresh Towels / Easy Self Check In / 247 Guest Support

Originally owned by the Church of England the old railway cottage was built in 1916 to house the workers building the English railway. In 2017 this house was beautifully renovated to an exceptional standard creating a modern spacious townhouse. This beautiful old house stands opposite the old Osney Power Station which was Oxford's first power plant open between 1892 and 1968.

DIRTY lack of help
I have tons of pictures of the shower drain full of hair, of filth on the stairs and hairballs on the sheets it was so bad and despite my calls for help to get it taken care of no one assisted me. By 9:30pm I realized there was no way I was going to be able to sleep so I rented a hotel room. VRBO/or this other company would NOT refund my money so my vacation cost Me Double. The next day they kept calling wanting to know if I would like them to come back? Way too late and not enough effort. I just don't understand?
