Five bedrooms across two floors, versatile family layout
A roomy five-bedroom detached house set on a mature southerly plot with private gardens backing onto open fields — a rare find close to Kennington’s green spaces. The property offers practical family living with a large living room, conservatory overlooking the garden, downstairs shower room and plentiful off-street parking plus a garage. Chain free for a quicker move.
The house dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and is honest in its presentation: fixtures, fittings and decoration are dated and will benefit from modernisation to unlock full value. At about 992 sqft overall, some rooms are modest in size and reconfiguration or extension (subject to planning) could improve layout and storage for a growing family.
Important technical points: glazing was installed before 2002 and cavity walls are only partially insulated (assumed), so further insulation or window upgrades may be needed to improve efficiency. Council tax is described as expensive. There is no flooding risk and local crime levels are low.
For buyers seeking outdoor space and easy access to Oxford, this house delivers a substantial private garden, countryside outlook and excellent transport links. It will particularly suit families who want room outside for children and pets, and buyers prepared to invest in updating the interior to create a contemporary family home.
