Located in the heart of Oxford, Studio Papaver is a unique accommodation with one of only four balconies overlooking the River Thames. The balcony offers views of the original Saxon stonework at Folly Bridge, where Alice paddled down the river in "Alice in Wonderland." The studio is filled with natural light and features artworks by South African artist Paul du Toit, as well as pieces created by the owner of Folly Bridge House.
Folly Bridge House, a crenellated Victorian tower on an island in the River Thames, has been beautifully restored and offers seven self-contained studio apartments. Each apartment is decorated with contemporary paintings, sculptures, and ceramics, and equipped with modern amenities such as fibre optic broadband and flat screen TVs. The house promotes an Eco and Fair Trade ethos, making it an ideal choice for individuals, couples, or visiting academics seeking a unique and tranquil stay in the city center.
The hideaway kitchen in Studio Papaver is designed for modern living, featuring a double induction hob, combination convection oven/microwave/grill, and a Nespresso pod coffee machine. The bathroom, though small, offers 21st-century comfort with a water softening shower and ventilation system. Laundry facilities and parking are available on the lower ground floor, with the option for secured parking at an additional cost.
Conveniently located just a 10-minute walk from the High Street, Oxford University colleges, and the New Westgate Centre, Folly Bridge House allows guests to experience the vibrant city life while enjoying the tranquility of the river. Guests can also enjoy a discount at the fashionable riverside restaurant, The Folly, and visit the famous Head of the River Pub across the road.
