Location
Ideal for professionals at Begbroke Science Park, Langford Locks, or Oxford University. Short walk to bus routes (2/2A/7/S5) into Oxford City Centre and the John Radcliffe Hospital, 5 minutes to Oxford Parkway Station for direct trains to London Marylebone, and walking distance to Kidlington High Street.
A Lived-In, Dog-Friendly Home
You’ll share the house with a friendly, affectionate Golden Retriever — wonderful company, though he sheds, so a bit of fur in shared spaces is normal between vacuums. He’s not allowed in the rented bedrooms or main bathroom, keeping your private space dog-free. The garden is well-used rather than showroom-perfect, with a few minor cosmetic scuffs on communal walls.
About the Household
I’m a software engineer on a career break, currently working part-time as a delivery driver while preparing to return to a remote or hybrid role. I value a calm, organised home, and enjoy dog walks along the canal, kickboxing, and piano (mostly worship music).
This is a peaceful home, not a party house — looking for an independent, considerate professional or researcher who’s comfortable around dogs and enjoys quiet, respectful living.
