Description

Nestled on a desirable segment of a popular residential road, this traditional 1930s semi-detached home presents a compelling opportunity for renovation and investment. The property is being sold with no onward chain, making it an attractive option for buyers ready to implement their vision. The current layout includes three bedrooms and a bathroom on the upper level, while the ground floor comprises two separate reception areas along with a kitchen. Although the interior would benefit from modern updates, it already features essential comforts such as gas central heating and double glazing, providing a solid foundation for further enhancements. Outside, the property boasts a generous private garden stretching 89 feet deep, ideal for those looking to expand or landscape according to their preferences. At the front of the house, you'll find a charming garden predominantly laid to lawn, bordered by flowers and shrubs, and enclosed by timber fencing and dwarf brick walling. Wrought iron double gates grant access to a shared driveway leading alongside the home and into the rear garden. The rear outdoor space includes a paved terrace and a semi-detached garage that offers valuable storage potential—although vehicle access is somewhat limited. The rest of the garden is primarily lawned and features mature trees and shrubs that provide both beauty and privacy. Additionally, the garden houses a vegetable plot with a timber storage shed and greenhouse, appealing to those interested in gardening or self-sustainability. Located in St Leonards Road, this property benefits from excellent connectivity to central Headington's amenities as well as proximity to several hospitals like the John Radcliffe. Public transport links are conveniently accessible for commuting to both central Oxford and London/airports. Furthermore, residents can enjoy nearby parks such as Bury Knowle Park, Quarry Hollow, and Margaret Road recreation ground. The area also falls within the catchment zone of reputable state primary schools, enhancing its appeal for families looking to settle in an inviting neighborhood with growth potential. This home stands out not just as a living space but as an investment opportunity waiting to be unlocked through thoughtful renovations.
