Recently boarded loft with drop‑down ladder and light
Freehold tenure; approx. 887 sq ft (average size)

This three‑bedroom end‑of‑terrace on Blenheim Drive offers a straightforward, affordable entry into Bicester’s housing market. The ground floor provides a through living and dining area with a separate kitchen, while three first‑floor bedrooms and a family bathroom suit a small family or couple wanting extra space. A southerly rear garden delivers reliable afternoon sun and low‑maintenance outdoor space.
Practical features include a recently boarded loft with a drop‑down ladder and light, a digital central‑heating thermostat, and a dated but functional kitchen with integrated hob and oven. The property is freehold with a reasonable footprint (approx. 887 sq ft) and cheap council tax (Band B), making running costs relatively modest for buyers on a budget.
Notable drawbacks are factual: the EPC is rated D (63), so upgrading insulation and heating will improve efficiency and running costs. Parking is on‑street only — the front tarmac strip has no dropped kerb so it does not provide formal driveway parking. The plot is small and the construction includes a timber‑framed first floor, which may influence long‑term maintenance choices. Overall this is a practical, well‑located starter home that rewards modest updating.
