Tucked away on a quiet no-through road in central Headington, this three-bedroom semi-detached home offers practical family living with genuine scope to add value. The layout includes two reception rooms plus a conservatory, a private rear garden with decking, integral garage and off-street parking — convenient for daily life and short commutes.
Upstairs are three double bedrooms, one with an en-suite, and a family bathroom. The property has an existing loft with a Velux window and clear potential for a loft conversion or lateral extension, both subject to planning permission. The house is double glazed and heated by a mains-gas boiler and radiators; the EPC is rated C.
The location is a major strength: central Headington, close to good and outstanding schools, frequent bus routes, local shops and a direct footpath to the John Radcliffe Hospital. The plot is a decent size and the garden is private and low-maintenance, appealing to families and professionals who value outdoor space without heavy upkeep.
Notable practical points are presented plainly. The home is dated in places — fittings and decoration will suit buyers prepared to refurbish. Council tax is above average for the area, and the neighbourhood records higher crime levels than surrounding districts, which should be factored into security and insurance considerations. Planning and improvement projects are possible but will require the usual permissions.
