Summary - 8, ST. LEONARDS ROAD, OXFORD, HEADINGTON OX3 8AA
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Three-bedroom home with huge garden and extension potential, sold chain free..
1930s semi-detached family house on favoured residential road
A 1930s semi-detached family home on a favoured residential road in Headington, offered chain free and ready for renovation. The house retains period character including bay windows and a porch and stands on a deep private plot with an 89ft rear garden — rare for the area and offering significant scope for rear or side extension (STPP).
Internally the layout is traditional: two separate reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room, three first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property benefits from gas central heating and double glazing, but requires general updating throughout; there are signs of dated decor and some ceiling mould in the living room that will need attention. Cavity walls are as-built with no added insulation (assumed), so upgrading thermal performance would be advisable.
Outside a paved terrace leads to a long, well-stocked garden with mature trees, vegetable plot, shed and greenhouse. A semi-detached garage provides useful storage, though vehicle access is limited and the driveway is shared. Practical pluses include fast broadband and excellent mobile signal; drawbacks include a local high crime level and moderate council tax banding.
This home will suit a family or buyer seeking a renovation project in a strong local school catchment and with great transport links to central Oxford and hospitals. Buyers should factor refurbishment costs, possible insulation and damp/mould remedial works, and plan permissions for any extension before committing.
