This late‑Victorian mid‑terrace offers genuine buying potential in Osney Island, just minutes from Oxford city centre and the train station. The house retains period charm, two reception rooms and a south‑facing garden of about 45 feet that delivers strong daylight and outdoor space unusual for a terraced plot.
The property requires updating throughout, making it a clear project for a first‑time buyer wanting to personalise a home or an investor targeting a city-centre let. Practical positives include double glazing installed after 2002, mains gas central heating and freehold tenure. Broadband and mobile signals are strong for modern working from home.
Buyers should weigh significant practical concerns: the property is in Flood Zone 3 (high flooding risk), the area records higher crime levels, and the solid brick walls likely lack modern insulation. The accommodation is modest in size (about 814 sq ft) with a compact plot, so renovation should prioritise flood mitigation, insulation improvements and interior refurbishment.
In short, this is a city‑centre period house with character and a sunny garden, suited to someone happy to renovate for long‑term comfort or rental income. Its excellent transport links, nearby schools and local amenities bolster its appeal despite the clear need for upgrading and flood‑risk considerations.
