Set at the end of a quiet no-through road in north Oxford, this detached three-bedroom bungalow offers comfortable single-storey living with versatile accommodation and good natural light. The principal living space is a generous open-plan sitting and dining room with a feature brick fireplace and double doors onto an enclosed, low‑maintenance paved courtyard — ideal for easy upkeep or simple landscaping. The property includes a double garage, separate workshop/utility area and off‑street parking, making it practical for everyday living and storage.
Built in the early 20th century and occupying about 1,223 sq ft, the house is freehold and chain free. Services are mains connected; heating is gas-fired via boiler and radiators, and double glazing was installed after 2002. The layout includes three bedrooms, a family bathroom with a walk‑in bath and a separate shower room, which together suit downsizers or buyers seeking single-level convenience close to Summertown and Oxford city amenities.
There are sensible upgrade and running-cost considerations. The property’s solid-brick walls are assumed uninsulated, and the council tax sits in Band F (expensive). While presented tidily, kitchens and bathrooms offer scope for modernisation to suit contemporary tastes and energy-efficiency improvements (for example cavity/ internal insulation). Note a planning/occupancy restriction: the property must remain single storey.
Location strengths include excellent broadband and mobile signals, easy access to good local schools and transport links (A34, M40, Oxford Parkway). Practical concerns to weigh are the above‑average local crime rate and the cost implications of potential improvements. Overall, this is a low‑maintenance, well‑located bungalow with clear potential for anyone wanting comfortable, all‑ground‑floor living in a sought‑after part of Oxford.
