A substantial five‑bedroom detached family home in Old Headington, offering nearly 2,920 sq ft of flexible living space across three floors. Ground-floor living is generous: dual reception rooms, a separate dining room, a large eat-in kitchen, utility/WC and a garden room that opens directly to a private, west‑facing garden. A large double garage and off‑street parking sit alongside a generous plot, giving space for family vehicles, hobbies or home working.
The first floor provides four double bedrooms, including one with an en‑suite, plus a family bathroom. The top floor delivers a light-filled reception room with high ceilings and an additional double bedroom — ideal as a teenage suite, studio or home office. The mature garden wraps around the house and benefits from long afternoon and evening sun.
Practical points for buyers: the property was built in the late 1970s/early 1980s and has double glazing of unknown age; some updating and routine maintenance are likely to bring the interior fully up to contemporary standards. The location is highly convenient — close to local shops, good schools for all ages, restaurants and fast links into central Oxford and the John Radcliffe hospital.
Material considerations: the area records higher crime levels than average, and the garden is currently overgrown in parts and will require landscaping to reach its full potential. The house is offered chain free on freehold tenure and suits a family seeking spacious accommodation in a sought-after conservation area who are prepared to invest modestly in finishing and landscaping.
