A substantial detached family home set on elevated Yarnells Hill, offering generous living space and well-tended gardens. The house has classic mid-20th-century character — beamed ceilings, parquet floors and original fireplaces — combined with practical upgrades such as double glazing and solar panels. With three reception rooms and a conservatory, the ground floor provides flexible family living and direct views over a large, landscaped rear garden.
The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite and fireplace, while two bedrooms interconnect to form a useful children’s suite. The kitchen is a good-sized family room with scope for cosmetic modernisation, and there is a separate utility room, cloakroom and internal access to the attached garage which offers conversion potential subject to consents. The property is offered chain free and sits on a generous plot with ample driveway parking.
Practical considerations include solid brick walls (original construction likely without cavity insulation), so buyers should expect possible energy-efficiency improvements. Council tax is high — note the property is in an expensive band. While beautifully maintained, some rooms would benefit from updating to meet contemporary family preferences.
Location is a clear strength: around two miles from Oxford city centre with good road links to the A34/A420/A40, regular buses from the bottom of the road and both Oxford and Oxford Parkway stations within easy reach. Local schools include highly regarded state and independent options, and nearby West Way Square provides convenient shops, cafes and a gym.
