Description

This property presents a unique opportunity for transformation on a well-frequented side street in East Oxford. Currently operating as commercial premises, it comes with approved planning consent to convert into four two-bedroom apartments, each offering the potential for outdoor spaces such as balconies or small gardens. The planning permission is documented under reference 23/00292/FUL, and some initial renovations have already been undertaken by the current owners. Situated in East Oxford, a vibrant and culturally rich district of historic Oxford, the location is appealing for both residential and investment purposes. The neighborhood boasts a diverse range of cafes, pubs, restaurants, and shops that cater to various tastes, making it an attractive area for potential tenants. Additionally, residents can enjoy a nearby performing arts center and an independent cinema within walking distance. The property’s proximity to central Oxford—less than a mile away—means that the extensive cultural offerings, entertainment options, and shopping amenities of the city are easily accessible. Daily shopping needs are also conveniently met by local independent food retailers, including organic options, with a larger supermarket located less than half a mile away. This property represents not just a chance for renovation but also an investment in an area recognized for its livability and demand.
