Located in a sought-after Kennington road (OX1 5LW), the home is near good primary and secondary schools, green spaces and direct routes into Oxford city centre.
Buyers should note a few practical points. The property was constructed in the late 1970s/early 1980s and, while well maintained, some buyers may wish to modernise certain fittings to personal taste. Heating is electric underfloor, which performs well but can be costlier than gas in some circumstances. Council tax is above average for the area. The sale is offered chain free, enabling a quicker move for the successful purchaser.
Overall, the house is best suited to growing families or professionals seeking flexible accommodation, generous outdoor space and easy access to Oxford. It presents a comfortable, energy-conscious home with scope to personalise and update where desired.
