Summary - 20 VICARAGE LANE OXFORD OX1 4RQ
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Characterful central Oxford home with garden and study potential for first-time buyers.
Two double bedrooms retaining original fireplaces
A pretty Victorian terraced house one mile south of Carfax, offering characterful living within easy reach of central Oxford. The sitting room and two double bedrooms retain original fireplaces and polished floorboards, while the kitchen/diner and smart bathroom deliver everyday practicality. A study off the rear bedroom could be used as a home office or converted to an en-suite.
Outside, the property benefits from a c.21m (70ft) north‑east facing rear garden with paved sitting area, lawn, mature shrubs and powered timber shed. On‑street resident permit parking and a sheltered front garden add kerb appeal. Broadband and mobile signals are reported good and the house is well placed for cycle routes, Hinksey Park and quick access to the city centre and A34/A40.
Buyers should note the home is compact (approx. 611 sq ft) and better suited to first‑time purchasers, a small family or buy‑to‑let investors. It has part double glazing, gas central heating and an EPC C, but the solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation — upgrading thermal performance might be needed. The property lies in a government-designated High Risk flood area from rivers; owners report no flooding since 2007, but flood risk is a material factor for insurance and future planning.
Overall this is a characterful, well‑presented period terrace offering straightforward, central‑Oxford living with potential to improve energy performance and adapt the small study space to suit changing needs.
