Welcome to Somerville Townhouse Estate, a sumptuous fusion of history and luxury nestled in the heart of Oxford City Centre. As you step into this enchanting abode, you'll be greeted by the tranquil courtyard garden, where the gentle murmur of a fountain sets the tone for your stay. This exquisite property comprises two distinct buildings, Wycliffe Residence and Somerville Residence, each boasting its own unique charm and outdoor seating area - it’s the perfect accommodation choice for larger groups who want to holiday together, while still maintaining privacy when needed. Somerville Townhouse Estate can sleep up to 12 adults, but can accommodate up to 4 additional infants in travel cots.

Step into Somerville Residence, where comfort and relaxation are at the heart of everything. The ground floor greets you with a bright, open-plan reception room, filled with cosy seating and cheerful décor, making it the perfect spot to put your feet up. Sunlight pours through the French doors, opening up to the tranquil garden outside.

The stylish kitchen is ready for all your cooking adventures, with double ovens, a bean-to-cup coffee machine, a wine fridge, and Quooker boiling taps. Whether you're rustling up a hearty breakfast or an evening feast, this kitchen has you covered. Head upstairs to find four beautifully designed bedroom suites, each with its own personality and charm.

Every bedroom features hand-crafted super-king beds with Vi-Spring Elite mattresses, promising a great night’s sleep. The ensuite bathrooms are finished with elegant porcelain and natural stone, offering freestanding baths and luxurious monsoon or raindrop showers—ideal for unwinding after a day of exploring Oxford.

Outside, the secluded garden is a peaceful retreat, with a spacious dining area beneath a leafy arbour, perfect for enjoying meals al fresco. The SONOS architectural sound system brings the space to life with rich, immersive sound throughout the residence.

Wycliffe Residence, a historic treasure within the estate, blends period charm with modern comfort. Follow the grand 17th-century wood-panelled staircase to discover two stunning full-floor suites, each a stylish haven with super-king beds, soft seating, and ensuite bathrooms featuring roll-top baths and rain showers.

Downstairs, the fully equipped kitchen is perfect for preparing meals, while the period wood-panelled sitting room provides a cosy and elegant spot to relax, full of historic charm.

With a butler’s pantry, a shared courtyard garden, and an in-ceiling sound system, Somerville Townhouse Estate isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a home away from home. Whether you’re planning a family getaway, a special celebration, or a business trip, this hidden gem offers a warm and welcoming escape in the heart of Oxford.
