Set on Banbury Road in sought‑after OX2, this substantial five‑bedroom detached house blends period charm with useful modern additions. The house offers well‑proportioned reception rooms, a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, utility and a flexible loft conversion currently used as two further bedrooms. A private, enclosed rear garden, garage and off‑street parking add practical family convenience.
Period features such as large windows, fireplaces and an Arts & Crafts influence are intact, while practical upgrades include double glazing, a gas boiler with radiators and rooftop solar panels. The property sits within an area known for excellent schools and easy access to Summertown shops, regular bus routes into Oxford and good rail links at Oxford Parkway.
Buyers should note a few material points: the Energy Performance Certificate is D and cavity walls appear uninsulated, so further insulation or energy upgrades could be needed. Council Tax Band G makes ongoing costs relatively high. Records list the house as built in 1926, though some datasets reference mid‑20th century construction — prospective buyers should check title and construction details if important.
Overall this is a roomy family home with good local amenities, flexible living space and clear potential to improve energy efficiency and personalise internal finishes. It will suit families seeking proximity to schools and transport, or buyers looking to add value through targeted upgrades.
