Wood Farm Road, Headington, Oxford

At £425,000, this is priced attractively at about £405 per sq ft, 17.2% below the local average—a useful entry point for a buyer looking to add value. The visible rooms are usable but dated, with scope for a general refresh, updated flooring and a more contemporary kitchen; the patio, lawn and established planting also give you a solid base for improving the garden. The renovation range is £18,000–£35,000, and the overall figures point to a potential opportunity rather than a guaranteed resale margin.
