Summary - Dunstan Cottage, 3 Dunstan Road OX3 9BY
10 bed 7 bath Detached
Ten-bedroom detached property with huge gardens and multigenerational layout.
Detached Tudor Revival house with historic provenance and period features
Dunstan Cottage is a rare, chain-free detached house in Headington offering over 5,000 sq ft of adaptable living across two linked dwellings. Set on a very large plot with spectacular private gardens and off-street parking for several cars, the property suits a multigenerational family seeking space, or an investor looking for rental sub-units given the existing two separate dwellings.
The house dates from 1935 and carries period Tudor Revival character, mature trees and a historic association. Practical strengths include double glazing (installation date unknown), mains gas central heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. A legal covenant protecting the rear garden from development is included; there may be future potential to sell that covenant subject to consent.
Buyers should note material points plainly: the property will require updating in places and likely benefits from further insulation improvements and modernisation. Council tax is described as quite expensive, and the neighbourhood records higher crime levels than average. The home offers tremendous potential but is best suited to those prepared to manage a significant, older property and its running costs.
Convenient for local amenities, popular restaurants, outstanding schools and city transport links, this substantial family home blends location and scale with clear refurbishment and management considerations. Its size and separate dwellings create flexible options for extended family use or income generation.
