A practical investment in Oxford’s Ridgefield Road, offered chain free with a secure rental income of £2,400pcm until August 2026. The house is a four-bedroom, two-bathroom semi-detached property arranged as an HMO, ideal for a buy-to-let landlord seeking immediate rental return and scope to add value.
The property totals about 905 sq ft across two storeys, with a modern fitted kitchen and off-street parking. There is potential to extend (subject to planning permission), and the decent plot offers scope for modest external improvements or a rear extension to increase lettable space.
Buyers should note important negatives: the area is classified as deprived with a higher-than-average crime rate, and the house dates from the 1930s–1940s with cavity walls assumed uninsulated. Double glazing is present but the installation date is unknown. These factors may mean upfront refurbishment and insulation work is needed to improve comfort and long-term returns.
This property will suit investors seeking immediate income and potential uplift through planning-led extension or targeted refurbishment. It is located near local amenities, several Good-rated primary and secondary schools, reliable transport links and fast broadband — practical advantages for tenants in Oxford’s rental market.
