Set on a generous, mature plot on the western edge of Oxford, this spacious detached house offers a rare combination of versatile living space and a private south/west-facing garden. The layout includes four double bedrooms (one en-suite), four reception rooms including a sunroom, and useful utility/garage access — an appealing canvas for a family seeking long-term space close to Botley and the city.
The house was built in the late 1970s and has been in the same family for many years. It requires updating throughout, so it will suit buyers prepared to modernise kitchens, bathrooms and finishes to create a contemporary family home. Energy-performance improvements are possible (current rating D, potential higher) and some decorative and system upgrades are likely needed given the property’s age.
Practical advantages include a large driveway with parking for multiple cars, an integral garage, excellent broadband and mobile coverage, and straightforward access to local amenities, schools and rail links into central Oxford and London. The property is freehold with mains services and gas central heating already installed. Note that council tax sits at band F, reflecting the property size and location.
This is a good opportunity for a family who values space, garden privacy and proximity to Oxford but is happy to invest in refurbishment to realise the home’s full potential. The house’s size and plot also give scope for modest extension or landscaping, subject to planning consent.
