This three-bedroom mid-terrace on Sorrel Road is a straightforward freehold family home with clear potential for improvement. The layout suits a small family: lounge with rear access, kitchen plus a long utility/storage room, two double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, a single bedroom and a family bathroom with separate cloakroom. The rear garden is low-maintenance and private, accessed via a shared alleyway; the front overlooks a communal green with mature trees.
The property is modest in size (approx. 703 sq ft) and presented in dated condition, so it will suit buyers prepared to modernise rather than those wanting a turnkey move. Construction appears to be system-built (1967–75) with assumed no wall insulation; buyers should budget for insulation and energy-efficiency upgrades. Double glazing and mains gas heating are in place, but the roof should be inspected and services/tested as part of a pre-purchase survey.
Location is practical for everyday family life: several good primary schools nearby, local shops, leisure facilities and easy road links to the A40/M40 and A34. Public transport is frequent into Oxford city centre and to hospitals. Be aware the local area records above-average crime and higher deprivation indicators; check local factors that matter to you before committing.
For a buyer looking to add value through refurbishment, this property offers sensible scope — cosmetic updating, insulation improvements and kitchen/bathroom renewal would materially improve comfort and marketability. It’s best suited to a couple or small family, or a hands-on purchaser seeking an affordable Oxford freehold with clear redevelopment upside.
