This 1930s three-bedroom freehold mid-terrace offers substantial renovation potential close to Cowley Road. The house retains period details such as picture rails and pine internal doors, and sits on a generous corner/rear plot with a sunny south-westerly private garden of approximately 60 ft by 40 ft.
Internally the layout spans two floors: entrance hall, sitting room, kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor, with three bedrooms above. The property is chain free and benefits from residents’ permit on-street parking and fast broadband — useful for home working.
The property requires full updating and modernisation throughout; cosmetic and likely deeper works will be needed to bring services and décor up to contemporary standards. The home is small at about 790 sq ft, so any extension or loft conversion would materially increase living space (subject to consents).
Buyers should note the immediate area is classed as deprived with higher local crime levels; this affects some buyer groups and may influence insurance or rental prospects. For those prepared to invest, the location near local amenities, frequent buses and several well-rated schools offers long-term value and extension potential.
