Fully renovated five-bedroom family home near Jericho and Port Meadow.
Elegant Victorian semi-detached over four floors, 2,860 sq ft
A handsome Victorian semi-detached house on Farndon Road, thoughtfully extended and fully renovated to create a versatile family home across four floors. The layout gives a formal front reception and music room, a large study with wood-burning stove, and a dramatic lower-ground open-plan kitchen and dining area with vaulted rooflights, limestone floors and bifold doors opening to the landscaped rear garden.
Practical comforts were added in the 2016 refurbishment: complete rewiring and replumbing, new bath/shower rooms, underfloor heating to the lower ground floor, modern kitchen with island and utility room, plus an EV charger and off-street parking to the front. The accommodation includes five bedrooms, three bathrooms and generous storage, making it suitable for a growing family or those wanting flexible living space (home office/playroom/guest suite options).
Location is a principal strength — Walton Manor, Jericho and Port Meadow are on the doorstep, with excellent schools in the catchment (SS Philip & James) and strong transport links into the city and beyond. The large walled garden, terrace and raised beds offer private outdoor space for children and entertaining.
Notable constraints are factual: the house has listed status, which will restrict certain alterations and can complicate future works or extensions. Council tax is described as very expensive. Broadband speeds are average for the area. The property is offered chain-free, but buyers should budget for listed-building consent where applicable and confirm service capacities for modern requirements.
