Summary - 1 SWAN STREET OXFORD OX2 0BJ
2 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
South-facing garden and garage; minutes from station — ideal for professionals and first-time buyers.
Chain free two-bedroom Victorian end-of-terrace, freehold
Set on a quiet row of just eight houses in fashionable Osney Island, this two-bedroom Victorian end-of-terrace offers a compact, characterful base moments from Oxford train station and the city centre. The property benefits from a through sitting/dining room with period sash windows, a kitchen opening to a south-facing rear garden, and a garage accessed from the rear. It is offered chain free, making it straightforward for a quick sale.
The house will suit first-time buyers or professionals seeking central convenience and scope to personalise. The small plot and south-facing garden offer outdoor space rare so close to the city, while the nearby Westgate and local amenities provide excellent daily conveniences. Residents’ parking operates on the island and public transport connections —including mainline rail and coach services—are immediate.
There are a few practical points to clarify before purchase: records provided are inconsistent about the heating system (the property description mentions gas central heating, but other data indicates no fixed central system), and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated. The property also lies in a medium flood-risk area and is in a neighbourhood with above-average crime statistics; these factors may affect insurance and running costs. Interested buyers should arrange their own inspections and checks on services, insulation and flood mitigation.
Overall, this modestly sized freehold Victorian house offers period character, close-in convenience and clear potential for improvement. Buyers wanting a ready-to-move-in, fully modernised house should budget for upgrades; those seeking a central, characterful property to renovate will find strong upside and excellent location benefits.
