Summary - 29, CRANBROOK DRIVE, OXFORD, KENNINGTON OX1 5RR
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Southerly private garden backing onto fields, ideal for families seeking outdoor space.
Five bedrooms with flexible ground-floor bedroom or study
A spacious five-bedroom detached house set on a mature, southerly-facing plot in Kennington, offered chain free and well placed for easy access to Oxford and local green spaces. The rear garden backs onto open fields, giving privacy and pleasant rural outlooks — an attractive setting for family life and outdoor entertaining. Driveway parking for several vehicles plus a garage add practical convenience for commuters.
The house dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and provides practical room proportions: a large living room, ground-floor bedroom or study, conservatory overlooking the garden, and a kitchen with scope for improvement. Upstairs the principal bedroom is notably long and benefits from built-in wardrobes, with three further first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property is freehold with no flood risk and sits in a low-crime, affluent area.
The home will suit growing families or buyers seeking value-add potential, but it is important to be clear about work required. Fit-out and decoration are dated and modernisation of kitchen and bathrooms would significantly improve living comfort and resale value. Windows are double glazed but appear to be older units and cavity walls show only partial insulation. Council tax is described as expensive.
Practical buyers should allow budget for updating heating controls, kitchen/bathroom refurbishment and potential insulation improvements to bring running costs down. For those who prioritise outdoor space, location and commuting links, this property offers a rare combination of a large private garden and straightforward access to Oxford without being in a flood zone.
