This rarely available detached period house on a quiet city-side road north of Summertown blends original character with practical modern comforts. High ceilings, exposed wood floors and cast-iron fireplaces give the principal reception rooms strong period charm, while double-glazed sash windows and gas central heating provide everyday comfort.
Accommodation is arranged over three floors with a ground-floor rear extension and a loft conversion. The house offers a double reception with a wood-burning stove, kitchen breakfast room with wood worktops and French doors to a timber deck, principal bedroom with ensuite, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom with white and chrome fittings.
Outside there is a walled front garden and a mature rear garden laid mainly to lawn with shrub borders and useful garden storage. The plot is modest in size but private and well-established, within walking distance of Summertown’s shops and frequent buses to the city centre and close to highly regarded local schools.
Practical points: the house was built before 1900 with solid brick walls and no known cavity insulation (assumed), so buyers should budget for potential thermal upgrades. Council tax is above average and the plot is relatively small compared with modern detached houses, but the property is freehold and ready for occupation or targeted updating.
