Quarry Cottage is a spacious detached Victorian family home arranged over three levels, offering more than 2,200 sq ft of character-filled accommodation and a large private garden. The house combines traditional features — bay windows, original wood floors and exposed beams — with practical spaces including a utility room and generous basement storage that could be adapted for other uses.
The ground floor flows from a bright living room into a dining room, conservatory and garden, creating easy indoor-outdoor living for family life and entertaining. Upstairs are three double bedrooms and a versatile fourth bedroom or study, with an en-suite to one bedroom and a family bathroom. The large plot, mature planting and side access provide privacy and outdoor space rare so close to Headington’s amenities.
Practical considerations: the property is a solid-brick home built c.1900–1929 and likely lacks cavity wall insulation; double glazing is present but installation date is unknown. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators. These facts mean some thermal upgrading and modernisation could be needed to improve energy efficiency.
Location strengths include a short walk to Shotover Country Park, good local and independent schools, proximity to Churchill and Nuffield hospitals, low local crime and fast broadband. Sold freehold with off-street parking, this property will suit families wanting a period home with scope to modernise and personalise, or buyers seeking a substantial residence with garden and development potential (subject to consents).
