Summary - 4 GARFORD ROAD OXFORD OX2 6UY
6 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious family home with large garden near top schools and Summertown amenities.
Six-bedroom Arts and Crafts detached house, circa 1900–1929
Set on an exclusive no-through road in Central North Oxford, this early 20th-century Arts and Crafts detached house offers generous family accommodation across three floors and a large, meticulously tended garden with a timber summerhouse. The property sits within easy walking distance of The Dragon School, Oxford High School and other highly regarded schools, making it well-suited to families who prioritise school catchments and a quiet residential setting.
The layout includes multiple reception rooms that open onto the rear terrace and garden, a kitchen with Aga, utility and larder, five bedrooms and two ensuites on the first floor, plus a self-contained top-floor flat with separate access. Off-street parking and a garage provide convenient vehicle storage, and mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators serves the house. There is no flood risk and mobile and broadband services are strong.
Important practical points: the house needs renovation and updating throughout, and cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed), so further energy-efficiency work may be required. Council Tax is in a high band and the property sits in an area categorised for student communal living and cosmopolitan student neighbourhoods, which can bring a lively local atmosphere and may influence rental demand or privacy in nearby streets.
This is a rare Central North Oxford opportunity for a family seeking substantial future-proof space or for an investor/developer able to manage an upgrade. The combination of generous room proportions, an exceptional garden and prime school access provides strong long-term appeal once modernisation works are undertaken.
