The property consists of three late 1800 houses that have been a guest house for over 80 years located just to the south of the town centre overlooking the college playing fields and the River Thames
Our family have owned Sportsview for over 30 years though now we are supported by the fantastic Matt and Alan
The Grandpont area is very close to the centre of Oxford whilst also having great access to the River Thames.
