South-facing sitting room with abundant natural light
This well-located five-bedroom detached home in Botley offers practical family living close to schools and transport links. The south-facing sitting room and spacious kitchen/breakfast area provide bright, sociable spaces for daily life and entertaining. A ground-floor bedroom with ensuite adds flexibility for multi-generational living or guests.
At about 1,085 sq ft the house is compact for five bedrooms, so expect smaller bedroom sizes and a compact overall footprint. The property was built in the 1950s–60s with cavity walls that appear to lack insulation (assumed), so there is clear scope to improve energy efficiency and reduce running costs with cavity or internal upgrades.
Other positives include recent double glazing, mains gas central heating, driveway parking and a rear garden on a decent plot. Council tax is above average for the area — factor this into running-cost calculations. With good broadband, excellent mobile signal and easy access to Oxford city centre and the mainline station, the home suits families wanting suburban convenience within easy commuting distance.
