Summary - 58 LEIDEN ROAD HEADINGTON OXFORD OX3 8QS
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Top-floor 2-bed fixer near hospitals — strong refurbishment potential.
Top-floor two-bedroom flat with large reception room
This two-bedroom top-floor flat in Headington offers clear rental and refurbishment potential due to its proximity to Oxford’s major hospitals, good bus links and local amenities. The property is a blank canvas: the layout is roomy with a large reception, separate kitchen and practical hallway storage, making it straightforward to modernise for renters or resale.
The flat requires renovation throughout — the kitchen and bathroom are dated and much of the interior needs updating — which allows a buyer to add value through targeted improvements. The building dates from the 1950s–60s and has pre-2002 double glazing; cavity walls are uninsulated (assumed), so buyers should allow budget for insulation and heating efficiency upgrades.
Practical positives include off-street parking, an average-sized 814 sqft footprint and an 88-year lease remaining. Council tax is described as affordable and there is no flood risk. However, the location records higher crime levels and is in a more deprived local area, facts that will influence tenant profiles and pricing strategy.
Overall this property suits an investor or hands-on buyer looking for a value-add project close to steady local employment hubs (hospitals and schools). Be aware of potential additional leasehold costs, renovation budgets and the neighbourhood’s social challenges when assessing yield and long-term plans.
