An elegant double-fronted Victorian terrace on Oxford Road, this four-bedroom home blends striking period detail with contemporary living. High ceilings, sash bay windows, original doors and ornate fireplaces give strong character throughout, while a bespoke quartz kitchen with central island, three reception rooms and a useful cellar/boot room provide practical modern space for family life.
The layout suits a growing household: a bright dining room with French doors opens to a walled patio and lawned cottage garden, and there is off-street parking for two to three cars. The master bedroom includes an en suite; three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the upper floors. There is loft access and potential to extend into the roof space subject to planning permission.
Notable positives are generous room sizes, original period features retained alongside fitted appliances and a gas boiler with radiators. Important practical points: the property’s solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, council tax is described as expensive, and services, fixtures and fittings have not been tested. Buyers should also note the area indicators: very high recorded crime and a wider classification of very deprived — factors to weigh against the house’s internal quality.
This home will suit families who value period character and generous living space close to local schools and amenities, and buyers seeking a project or modest development potential (loft conversion subject to consent). A viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale and finish of the principal rooms and the rear garden layout.
