This substantial four-bedroom detached house sits at the end of a private cul-de-sac in Headington’s Conservation Area, offered with vacant possession and no onward chain. The house totals about 1,943 sq ft over two storeys and presents traditional Georgian-inspired detailing, a double garage and a large south‑east facing rear garden that wraps around the plot. Its scale and layout suit a growing family seeking space and privacy close to schools and local amenities.
The ground floor provides versatile reception rooms including a bay-fronted sitting room, separate dining room, study/home office, kitchen/breakfast room, utility and cloakroom. Upstairs are four well‑proportioned bedrooms, the principal with dressing area and en‑suite, plus a family bathroom. Built form and room sizes indicate comfortable family living with scope to modernise where desired.
Practical considerations are clear: the house dates from the late 1960s/1970s and has double glazing installed before 2002, so some windows and internal systems may be original or nearing replacement. Heating is by mains gas with a mix of warm air and boiler/radiator systems; buyers should note the mixed system and inspect service records. Broadband speed in the area is reported very slow, which could affect home working or streaming without upgrades.
Location strengths include proximity to the John Radcliffe Hospital, top independent and state schools, good bus links to London and the airport, and pleasant cycle/walking routes to the city centre. The Conservation Area status protects the neighbourhood character but can limit external alterations. Council Tax is high (Band G), and while the plot and driveway offer excellent parking, budget for future updating and any conservation-related permissions.
