Summary - 83 Oxford Road, Cowley OX4 2ER
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Chain-free Victorian terrace with garden — renovation opportunity near Cowley and Headington.
Two bedrooms, two reception rooms, kitchen/diner leading to rear garden
A Victorian mid-terrace with clear scope for improvement and strong location advantages. Offered freehold and chain-free, the two-bedroom house provides a solid canvas for buyers wanting to add value through refurbishment. The layout includes two reception rooms, a kitchen/diner leading to a rear garden, and a single bathroom on the first floor. Rooms are modest in size and the property requires updating throughout, making it better suited to someone prepared to renovate rather than move in immediately.
Highlights include double glazing fitted post-2002, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and a private rear garden that offers space for landscaping or extension (subject to consents). The terrace sits in a mainly residential area close to Cowley and Headington, with frequent buses to Oxford city centre, good broadband and excellent mobile signal — appealing for commuters, students and professionals. Local amenities and a range of primary and secondary schools are within easy reach.
Notable drawbacks are the need for general modernisation, some external maintenance (ivy growth and garden work required) and likely absence of wall insulation given solid brick construction. The accommodation is compact (approximately 786 sq ft) with a small plot and a single bathroom, so families needing more space may find it limiting. For investors or DIY buyers, the lack of an onward chain and the property’s position make it an attractive refurbishment prospect with rental or resale potential once modernised.
In short, this mid-terrace is a pragmatic purchase for buyers seeking a reasonably priced, chain-free project in an established east Oxford neighbourhood. It suits those who can invest time and budget into upgrading heating, finishes and insulation to unlock greater comfort and value.
