Set on a favoured residential road in Headington, this 1930s semi-detached house offers a substantial private garden (approximately 89ft) and clear scope to create a larger family home with extension potential (subject to usual consents). The property is freehold and being sold with no onward chain, making it straightforward to progress. Local schools, bus links and nearby hospitals add practical appeal for families and professionals.
The accommodation includes two separate reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, three first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom. The house benefits from gas central heating and double glazing, but it does require general updating throughout; the living room shows dated decor and some ceiling moulding that will need attention. Walls are likely cavity construction without added insulation, so upgrading thermal performance should be factored into any renovation budget.
Outside, a semi-detached garage provides valuable storage though vehicle access is limited. The long rear garden is a major asset—mature trees, a paved terrace, vegetable plot, shed and greenhouse give immediate outdoor space and strong scope for landscaping or an extension (STPP). Note the area records higher local crime levels, which buyers should consider alongside the many practical benefits of the location.
