This three-bedroom semi-detached home on Blackbird Leys Road offers straightforward family living with useful outdoor space and handy transport links into Oxford city centre. The ground floor layout includes a front sitting room, separate dining room, conservatory opening to a well-presented two-tier rear garden, plus a long covered side passage converted to a utility area and ground-floor WC — practical for everyday family routines.
The kitchen is compact and modern in style, and bedrooms are well-proportioned for a property of this age. An outbuilding/workshop and a garage provide storage and hobby space. The house is freehold, double-glazed (installed post-2002) and served by mains gas central heating, which reduces immediate major-investment needs.
Buyers should note the wider area is classified as deprived with higher-than-average local crime; this is an important consideration for families and those seeking long-term resale growth. The nearby secondary school has a Requires Improvement Ofsted rating, though several primary schools close by are rated Good. Prices in the area reflect this local profile and the property offers scope to modernise and add value with targeted upgrades.
Overall this is a practical, mid-20th century family home on a decent plot with scope for cosmetic improvement. It will suit purchasers looking for a ready-to-live-in house with potential to personalise, or investors seeking steady rental demand thanks to good transport links and local amenities.
