This spacious Victorian semi stands over four floors in Walton Manor, offering 2,860 sq ft of family-focused living close to Jericho and Port Meadow. The house was comprehensively renovated in 2016 and extended to create a light-filled lower-ground open-plan kitchen/dining with limestone flooring, bifold doors and underfloor heating — ideal for family breakfasts and indoor‑outdoor summer living. Five bedrooms, three bathrooms and four reception rooms give flexible space for home working, play and guests.
Practical features include a gravel drive with EV charger and secure bicycle store, a large walled rear garden with terrace and raised beds, and a useful utility room and playroom off the kitchen. The property lies in the catchment for SS Philip and James and is walking distance to local schools, cafés, pubs and Phoenix Picturehouse, making daily life straightforward for families. Chain free sale simplifies the move.
Buyers should note a few material points: the house is of solid brick construction with no historic cavity insulation (assumed), double glazing was installed before 2002 and broadband speeds are average. Council tax is described as very expensive. These practical issues are balanced by the 2016 rewiring, replumbing and modern kitchen and bathrooms, but further energy-efficiency upgrades could be considered.
Overall this is a substantial, characterful family home in a highly desirable North Oxford location. It will suit buyers seeking generous, well‑appointed living space with immediate move-in condition, while those prioritising top-tier insulation and the very latest glazing may want to budget for targeted upgrades.
