Fully boarded loft with conversion potential (subject to consent)

This three-bedroom mid-20th century terraced home on Abingdon Road is a practical family choice close to Oxford city amenities. Cherished by one family for 74 years, the house offers characterful living with high ceilings, generous natural light and a large west-facing garden backing onto playing fields — a secure outdoor space for children and pets.
Internally the layout is straightforward and comfortable: a bright sitting room with period details, a functional kitchen with direct garden access and a ground-floor family bathroom. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a single bedroom, plus a fully boarded loft that gives excellent storage and clear potential for conversion, subject to planning permission and building regulations.
Practical advantages include driveway parking for two cars, side access and a new shed with electrics. The location is strong for families, with several well-rated primary and secondary schools nearby, Hinksey Park within easy reach, and regular buses and cycle routes into the city and to Oxford stations.
Buyers should note some important constraints. The property is small overall (approximately 721 sq ft) and constructed in the 1930s–1940s, so modernisation may be needed to suit contemporary tastes. Broadband speeds are very slow, there is a medium flood risk for the area and local crime levels are above average. These factors should be considered alongside the homes obvious strengths and potential.
