A substantial five‑bedroom Victorian semi‑detached house on Frenchay Road, recently renovated for contemporary family life while retaining period character. The ground floor offers a double reception with bay window and two fireplaces, and a bright extended kitchen/dining room with roof lantern, bi‑fold doors and underfloor heating. The basement provides practical utility and storage space, and the mature rear garden and off‑street parking for two cars complete the family layout.
Finished to a high standard with bespoke double‑glazed sash windows throughout, the house balances traditional proportions and modern comfort. The generous principal bedroom has built‑in storage and an en suite; three further bedrooms occupy the second floor and a sizable family bathroom sits on the first. At around 2,506 sq ft, the property gives flexible space for a growing family or home‑office arrangements.
Buyers should note the property sits in an area flagged as high flood risk and the house is constructed of solid brick with no confirmed wall insulation. Council tax is described as quite expensive. These are material considerations for running costs and potential retrofit works.
Overall this is a well‑presented, characterful family home in central North Oxford, close to highly regarded schools and local amenities. It will suit buyers seeking generous Victorian proportions with modernised living spaces, who are happy to factor flood risk and insulation/energy upgrades into their decision.
