This two-bedroom semi-detached house on London Road, Headington, is a chain-free, freehold opportunity offering substantial scope for refurbishment and value creation. Set back from the road on an unusually large plot (circa 130 ft.), the property includes a wide rear garden and off-street parking — rare for this part of Headington. The house currently provides three reception rooms, a kitchen, two bathrooms and two bedrooms across multiple storeys and roughly 1,282 sq ft of internal space.
The house requires a complete renovation throughout, presenting a blank canvas for a modern reconfiguration or rear extension (subject to necessary consents). Gas central heating is installed and serviced annually, but the home needs comprehensive updating internally and external maintenance to the pebble-dash façade and front garden.
Location is a key strength: regular bus routes (including services to Oxford and London), excellent mobile signal and fast broadband make this attractive to commuters, professionals and investors. Nearby amenities include shops, cafés, healthcare and several well-rated schools, plus close proximity to Oxford Brookes University and the hospitals. The area has higher-than-average crime statistics and sits within a deprived local classification, which may affect resale timing and rental yields.
This property will suit buyers ready to undertake a refurbishment or extension project to unlock the plot’s potential. It is particularly appealing to investors or owner-occupiers seeking a large garden and convenient transport links, provided they factor in renovation costs and local planning requirements.
