COTTAGE ON OXFORD - A Private Bayside Sanctuary in the Heart of Shorncliffe
Tucked away in a tightly held enclave of character-filled workers' cottages, Oxford Cottage is a rare and beautiful offering. Privately positioned amongst the lush green canopy of neighbouring trees, it is located at the very end of a peaceful shared driveway.
The current owners searched for a long time before discovering and falling in love with this delightful cottage. Over the past five years, they have lovingly cared for, restored and lived beautifully within its walls, nurturing both the home and its gardens. An unexpected interstate opportunity has now brought their Shorncliffe chapter to a close, offering a rare chance for new custodians to begin their own story here.
From the moment you arrive, the warmth is undeniable. The home feels fresh, calm and inviting. A cottage-style garden including citrus trees brings fragrance, colour and charm. Private nooks provide spaces to sit, reflect, entertain or simply enjoy a cuppa with the birdsong and bay breezes.
Surrounded by some of Shorncliffe's most tightly held and desirable streets, this close-knit community is known for its warmth and spirit, friendly neighbours and a genuine village atmosphere that makes you feel instantly at home.
A short stroll brings you to Bramble Bay where sunrise and sunset walks become part of everyday life. Fish and chips from Shelley Inn, coffee from Elvy's, picnics by the foreshore and lazy afternoons in the park make life here feel like a permanent holiday.
The Shorncliffe train station is within walking distance, offering quick and effortless access to the CBD - a priceless advantage during peak hour and increasingly valuable as Queensland prepares to host the Olympic Games. Convenient highway access north and south further enhances lifestyle flexibility.
Inside, timeless Queenslander charm blends beautifully with modern comfort. Featuring VJ walls, polished timber floors, a front verandah and two rear decks, the home is spread across two levels with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, offering exceptional flexibility for families, professionals and downsizers alike.
