Summary - 45 EAST STREET BANBURY OX16 3LL
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Surprisingly long private garden and easy walk to station.
Victorian end-terrace with original period features and fireplaces
A compact Victorian end-of-terrace with genuine period character and a surprisingly long rear garden. The house offers two reception rooms, two bedrooms and a first-floor bathroom across two storeys — an ideal layout for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The property is offered with no onward chain and sits within easy walking distance of Banbury town centre and the railway station.
The accommodation is largely original and functional: a living room with a fireplace and built-in shelving, a dining room with under-stairs storage and a kitchen with space for appliances. Practical updates include a mains gas boiler installed about two years ago, a metal fuse box replaced in 2017, and double glazing added after 2002. The 92 ft rear garden is a standout feature, unusually long for a terrace and offering scope for landscaping, extension (subject to consent) or creating separate entertaining zones.
There are clear areas for improvement. Some finishes are dated and the kitchen and bathroom would benefit from modernisation to boost comfort and rental/ resale value. The house is constructed with solid brick walls that likely lack cavity insulation, so heating efficiency could be improved. The property sits in an urban area with mixed demographics and pockets of deprivation; prospective buyers should consider local market dynamics if purchasing as an investment.
Overall this is a straightforward, freehold Victorian cottage that delivers character, a rare deep garden and strong transport links. It will suit buyers prepared to carry out modest updating to lift the interior to current standards, or those seeking a rental property with clear short-term improvement potential.
