Description

This three-bedroom residence features a single-storey rear extension and presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and investment. The property requires refurbishment throughout, allowing new owners to customize the space to their preferences while benefiting from its existing layout and potential for further enhancements, such as additional extensions or a loft conversion, subject to planning permission. Upon entering, you will find an entrance hall that leads into a spacious living room, which seamlessly connects to a kitchen/dining area. Upstairs, there are three well-sized bedrooms alongside a family bathroom. Access to the partially boarded loft is available, complete with light and power, providing further options for storage or possible development. The exterior includes a front garden with potential for driveway expansion, alongside an existing shared drive that offers access to a dedicated parking space. A side passage leads to the rear garden, featuring a shed, hardstanding area, and patio space that transitions to lawn. Located in a residential neighborhood straddling Cowley and Littlemore, this home is conveniently positioned within walking distance of retail amenities and recreational facilities, including Templars Square Shopping Centre and John Allen Retail Park. Public transport options are readily accessible nearby, providing routes into Oxford City Centre (approximately 3.5 miles away), as well as major hospitals such as JR Hospital and Churchill Hospital.
