Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached home in New Hinksey presents a compelling opportunity for renovation and investment. Having been a beloved family residence, the property has seen several enhancements over the years, including the addition of a second shower room on the ground floor and a single-storey extension at the rear, which opens up various possibilities for modern living arrangements. While the interiors are in need of updating, this allows potential buyers to infuse their own style and preferences into the home. The layout features spacious reception areas that enjoy ample natural light, complemented by a generously sized kitchen suitable for everyday family life. The additional shower room on this level adds practical value, making it more convenient for residents and guests. The upper floor hosts three bedrooms—two doubles and one single—offering adequate space for families or individuals seeking extra room for work or leisure. A family bathroom serves these bedrooms, further enhancing functionality. Outside, an expansive rear garden awaits transformation. This outdoor space not only offers potential for landscaping projects but also serves as an ideal setting for recreational activities. Access to the garden is straightforward via both side and rear pathways. At the front, driveway parking adds another layer of convenience. This property is being sold with no onward chain, simplifying the purchasing process for interested buyers. With thoughtful renovations, this house could evolve into a remarkable family home in a sought-after area. New Hinksey itself is an attractive location situated approximately 0.75 miles from Oxford city center to the south. It provides excellent links to both urban amenities and countryside retreats, making it particularly appealing to families thanks to its proximity to good primary schools. Nearby Hinksey Park features outdoor swimming facilities, tennis courts, and playgrounds—a great asset for children and families alike. Natural reserves such as Happy Valley and Iffley Meadows offer easy access to green spaces and recreational opportunities. With safe cycling routes and walking paths leading directly to Westgate shopping center—which includes John Lewis—as well as robust transport options available via train and bus services to London and local airports, this location combines convenience with lifestyle benefits. Additional amenities like a doctors’ surgery, community center, local shops, cafes, and pubs are also within easy reach. Overall, this property's combination of features and prime location makes it an excellent candidate for those looking to invest in a project that can yield significant returns through modernization efforts.
