Set on about an acre, this handsome Victorian detached home blends period detail with roomy contemporary living. The house offers five well-proportioned bedrooms, a principal bedroom with an impressive en-suite, and roughly 2,500 sq ft of flexible accommodation including four reception rooms and a large open-plan kitchen/breakfast/family room with a log burner.
The plot and layout suit family life: extensive private lawned gardens backing onto mature trees, a double garage with adjoining gym/studio, and generous driveway parking to front and side. The location is convenient for commuters with Botley station a short drive away and direct links to London Waterloo.
Buyers should note a few practical points: the solid brick walls are assumed to be uninsulated, broadband speeds are slow, and council tax is described as quite expensive. Crime levels are reported above average for the area. A nearby garage has submitted plans to extend operations; the proposal indicates new buildings would be sited further from the house.
Overall this property will appeal to families seeking character, space and privacy who are prepared to accept some older-house considerations (insulation and modern connectivity) or to invest selectively to tailor the house to contemporary standards.
