Description

This charming 1930s semi-detached home presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and potential expansion. Situated on the borders of Headington, the property boasts convenient access to major roadways, including the A/M40, facilitating easy commutes to both the city center and surrounding areas. The layout currently features three bedrooms and a bathroom on the upper level, while the ground floor includes two reception rooms, a kitchen, and a cloakroom. The home retains several original characteristics such as attractive wood block flooring in the hallway and fireplaces in both reception areas—although these are currently sealed. Additionally, fitted cupboards in one of the reception rooms offer practical storage solutions. Modern amenities like gas central heating and double glazing ensure a comfortable living environment while you consider upgrades or renovations. Set on a wider than average plot, this property has significant potential for extension to the side and rear (subject to planning permission), allowing for customized enhancements that could increase living space or add value. The exterior features a generously sized private driveway capable of accommodating multiple vehicles, complemented by an area of garden space. At the side of the house sits a detached garage, providing further parking options or valuable storage. The south-facing garden at the rear is enclosed by timber fencing and walling, offering privacy and an inviting outdoor space. Given its location and potential for renovation or expansion, this property represents an intriguing investment opportunity in a desirable area. Please note that this property is available for private sale only. For additional details and to schedule a viewing, feel free to reach out to our office.
