Description

Allen & Harris in Oxford present a Victorian mid-terraced house with three double bedrooms. The ground floor has an entrance hall, a lounge, a separate dining room with a door to the rear garden, and a kitchen leading through to the family bathroom. The first floor provides the three bedrooms. There are enclosed gardens at both the front and rear. The listing notes potential to improve the outdoor space, while the existing two-reception layout and three-bedroom arrangement offer scope for different uses, subject to the buyer's plans and any required consents. Littlemore has public transport links to Oxford city centre and the train station, with access to the Oxford Ring Road and the A34, A40 and M40. Local facilities include a community centre, shops, takeaways, schools and public houses. Larger supermarkets and retail shops are described as just over a mile away, and the Oxford Business Park and BMW Mini Plant as just under two miles away.

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

63out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £370,000, this three-bedroom Victorian terrace is priced around 9.5% below the local average per square foot, making it a comparatively affordable way to acquire a home in Littlemore. The lounge and dining room look usable, while the dated finishes offer scope for a light refresh; the kitchen and bathroom are functional but old-fashioned, and the enclosed rear garden could be cleared and improved into a more inviting outdoor space.

The £8,000–£18,000 renovation range points to a manageable project rather than a full refurbishment. The location’s access to Oxford’s ring road, public transport and nearby employment hubs adds to the appeal for a family home or rental investment. The score is a potential opportunity, with the below-average asking price a clear strength.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated kitchen and bathroom finishes without taking on a full refurbishment.
  • Clear and improve the enclosed rear garden, including addressing the uneven or cracked paving.
  • Make use of the separate lounge and dining room layout for a family home or rental investment.
