Description

This three-bedroom Victorian terraced house is arranged over three floors and is offered with no onward chain. The ground floor has an entrance hall, a bay-fronted sitting room, a separate dining room and a kitchen/diner with a WC. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom, with the third bedroom on the second floor. At the rear, the west-facing garden is mainly laid to lawn. The property is in Grandpont, within walking distance of Oxford city centre and the Westgate, with the station around 20 minutes away on foot. The River Thames and Hinksey Park are also nearby. Residents can apply to the local authority for a parking permit, stated to cost approximately £80. The EPC rating is E. The existing layout and three-bedroom accommodation provide a basis for considering updates, subject to inspection and verification of the property's condition.

49out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This Victorian terrace has a useful three-bedroom layout, generous proportions and a west-facing rear garden, with Oxford city centre and the Westgate within easy reach. The sitting and dining rooms look clean and usable, while the dated kitchen and bathroom finishes and heavily overgrown garden offer scope for a light, targeted refresh rather than a full overhaul. The guide to improvement is clear, but the asking price is £675,000—about 4.6% above the local £/sqf benchmark, so price is not a particular strength. With the purchase price and the stated refurb midpoint, all-in costs look tight against local benchmarks; buyers would need to be disciplined about the works and purchase price.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated kitchen and bathroom finishes while retaining the existing usable layout.
  • Clear and restore the overgrown west-facing garden, with visible paving, fencing and a rear outbuilding to work around.
  • Bring the traditional fireplaces and fitted shelving into a cohesive scheme across the clean, generously proportioned living spaces.
