Description

This three-bedroom detached house presents a compelling opportunity for renovation, located on a sought-after road known for its convenience. While the property requires modernisation, it offers a solid foundation to create a comfortable home in a desirable area. The layout includes an entrance hall that leads to both a living room and a sitting room, providing versatile spaces for family life. The kitchen is functional as it stands but holds potential for reconfiguration and updating. A rear lobby connects to a shower room, while the first floor accommodates three bedrooms, allowing for various configurations or enhancements depending on your vision. Externally, the property benefits from an enclosed front garden with side access leading to the spacious rear garden predominantly laid to lawn. This outdoor space also includes a useful outbuilding that could be transformed into additional storage or even a workspace. Ferry Road's prime location enhances its appeal; it's positioned just off Marston Road and approximately three-quarters of a mile from the city centre via accessible routes. Nearby amenities include local shops, pubs, and schools, with scenic walks along the River Cherwell leading to University Parks. Additionally, major facilities such as Headington hospitals and Oxford Brookes University are within close proximity—ideal for students or healthcare professionals looking for rental options. While some aspects of the property may require attention—such as possible Artex in the reception rooms and considerations regarding materials used prior to 1999—these factors can easily be addressed during renovations. With potential for significant appreciation post-renovation, this property represents not only a home but also an investment opportunity in an area known for its growth and demand.
