Summary - 74, MILL STREET OX2 0AL
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Chain-free Victorian three-bed with renovation potential near central Oxford — ideal for investors or DIY buyers.
Freehold, chain-free Victorian mid-terrace, circa 873 sq ft
Needs full modernisation — budget for kitchen, bathroom, insulation, wiring
Solid brick walls assumed uninsulated; energy upgrades likely required
Single bathroom only; three bedrooms could suit sharers or family
Small rear plot; limited garden/outdoor space
High local crime rate may affect lettings and insurance costs
Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — good for renters
Low flood risk; mains gas heating with boiler and radiators
A chain-free, freehold Victorian mid-terrace offering three bedrooms across circa 873 sq ft, this property is presented for sale in need of comprehensive modernisation. The solid brick construction, retained period features and post-2002 double glazing give a useful starting point for refurbishment, but walls are assumed uninsulated and further work will be required to bring the house up to current comfort and efficiency standards.
Situated on Mill Street in a cosmopolitan, predominantly private-renting area close to shops, cafes, bus and rail links, the house has clear short-term rental or let potential to students and new arrivals to Oxford. The location benefits from fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, low flood risk and nearby primary and independent school options, making it convenient for a range of occupiers.
Practical drawbacks are material: the property needs renovation throughout, has only one bathroom, a small plot and sits in a higher-crime neighbourhood which may affect lettings and insurance. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators, but full upgrading (including insulation, kitchen and bathroom replacement, and potential rewiring) should be budgeted for.
For an investor or an owner-occupier willing to undertake refurbishment, this mid-terrace provides a rare, chain-free entry into OX2 with scope to increase value through sensible modernisation and reconfiguration. Honest assessment and a clear budget for works will be essential before purchase.
