A rare freehold investment in a Grade II listed Georgian townhouse, arranged as five self-contained one-bedroom flats. Located at the foot of Headington Hill, the property benefits from strong student and professional demand, close walking distance to Oxford city centre, university departments and Cowley Road’s amenities. Tall sash windows and high ceilings give many rooms good natural light and views over South Park.
The flats are let-ready in layout: each has a double bedroom, shower/ensuite and open plan living/kitchen. Broadband and mobile coverage are strong and business rateable value is modest, supporting rental appeal for students and professionals. Current EPC bands are D or E; heating is electric room heaters and mains services are connected.
Material considerations for a buyer: the building is Grade II listed, which restricts alterations and can complicate permitted works and upgrades. Walls are timber frame with assumed lack of insulation, and heating is electric only — both factors that will affect running costs and any refit. The plot is compact with only a small forecourt and limited private amenity space. The area records higher-than-average crime, so lettings should reflect local demand and security measures.
For an investor this is a central, characterful block with stable tenant demand and clear short-term income potential. Planned capital works should account for listed status, potential insulation/upgrading costs, and ongoing maintenance to preserve period fabric.
