This charming three-bedroom Victorian end-of-terrace sits on a wider-than-average plot in a premier East Oxford location, offered with no onward chain. The house benefits from a private side driveway, off-street parking and an unusually long south-east facing garden of approximately 70 ft, ideal for family outdoor use or landscaping projects.
Internally the home follows a traditional layout with two reception rooms, a kitchen, lean-to conservatory and a single bathroom on the ground floor; two double bedrooms occupy the first floor along with built-in wardrobe space. The property is modest in overall size (c.616 sqft) and presents genuine scope to modernise—there is clear potential for extension subject to planning permission, and the space could be reconfigured to better suit contemporary family needs.
Buyers should note some maintenance and upgrade items: the house dates from the 1930s-era build with solid brick walls likely uninsulated, double glazing installation date unknown, and the garden and outbuildings require upkeep. There is only one bathroom and the footprint is relatively small, so anyone seeking generous internal space should factor in possible renovation or extension costs. The area records higher crime levels than average and the property has been lived in for decades, so refurbishment is expected.
Location is a key strength: East Avenue sits between Cowley Road and Morrell Avenue, close to South Park, local shops, bars and restaurants, and within walking distance of Oxford Brookes University. Transport links are strong with nearby coach services to London and local rail connections; council tax remains affordable. This is a good opportunity for a family or buyer wanting a period home with garden and parking in a well-connected part of East Oxford.
