A versatile Victorian mid-terrace set in a lively students-and-professionals area, this two-bedroom property is offered chain-free and vacant on completion. At about 877 sq ft across two floors it provides a bright sitting room, separate dining room, kitchen with garden access and two upstairs bedrooms — currently configured as a three-bed HMO and easily convertible back to a standard two-bedroom home.
Location is a primary selling point: 1.2 miles on foot from Oxford city centre, 0.2 miles from Waitrose and close to West Way Square amenities. The house sits within the West Oxford Community Primary and Matthew Arnold School catchments, and benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for students, professionals or short-term lets.
The property is a solid-brick Victorian build (c.1900–1929) with double glazing of unknown install date, mains gas boiler and radiator heating. It requires some updating and may benefit from insulation improvements behind the solid walls; pictured interiors show simple, empty rooms ready for renovation or refit. The garden is small but offers outdoor space in an otherwise urban setting.
Important practical notes: the location is recorded as having a high flooding risk and crime levels above average. These factors affect insurance, mitigation costs and some buyer suitability. Overall this is a good opportunity for an investor seeking HMO/letting potential or a buyer prepared to refurbish for long-term homeownership close to central Oxford.
