Set on a large plot at the top of a quiet, leafy road in Botley, this unusually spacious three-bedroom detached home offers excellent scope for a growing family or buyers seeking generous living space. The property extends to around 2,076 sq ft across multiple storeys and includes a private rear garden and off-street parking — rare assets so close to local schools and city amenities.
The house retains period character from its 1930s build with solid brick walls and double glazing. Internally there is a light-filled living area and well-proportioned bedrooms, including two large rooms upstairs and a third bedroom on the lower level. Mains gas boiler and radiators supply heating; mobile signal and broadband speeds are strong in the area.
Buyers should note the home will benefit from updating: decor and some flooring are dated and worn, and images indicate roof issues that require inspection and likely repair. The walls are assumed to have no added cavity insulation, which could mean higher running costs until addressed. Council tax band is not provided.
This property suits buyers who want substantial space and garden in an affluent, low-crime neighbourhood and are prepared to invest in targeted refurbishment to unlock its full potential. It is particularly attractive for families seeking proximity to a range of state and independent schools, or owners looking to create a custom, characterful family home.
