Description

This semi-detached brick-built house presents a unique renovation opportunity, with direct views of Humber Ditch Green. Having been in the same family for 80 years, the property is now available without an onward chain, making it a rare find on Courtenay Road. It features three bedrooms, a first-floor bathroom, and ample ground floor space with two reception rooms, a large kitchen, and a W.C., all of which have remained largely untouched since its construction. This untouched condition offers an ideal canvas for redevelopment. The potential for extending this home (subject to planning permission) is significant; neighbours have already undertaken similar projects. Options include a double-storey side extension for an additional bedroom and en-suite, or transforming the living area by integrating the two reception rooms into a larger kitchen/diner with bi-folding doors leading to the garden. There’s also scope for adding a garden room to serve as an office or playroom, creating off-street parking similar to nearby homes, and even considering loft conversion for further living space. While modernization is needed throughout, recent updates like fresh decoration allow for immediate move-in while renovations are carried out gradually. Located in a peaceful neighbourhood close to schools and amenities with good transport links to Didcot Station and beyond, this property is perfectly positioned for families looking to invest in their future.
