Description

This substantial four-bedroom home offers a unique canvas for renovation and investment, located on a desirable side street in Summertown. The property is complemented by a separate basement studio that includes its own kitchenette and en suite bathroom, adding versatility and potential for rental income. Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious entrance hall that leads into an expansive double reception room. This area features a square bay window and retains charming details such as high ceilings and an elegant fireplace. Adjacent to the reception room is a well-sized kitchen/breakfast area with convenient access to a utility room and sliding doors leading to the rear garden. Although under-stair storage currently blocks previous access to the basement, the option remains to reconfigure this space as part of any future renovations. The first floor accommodates three generous double bedrooms, including one with built-in wardrobes. A fourth bedroom occupies the second floor, notable for its excellent height and ample natural light from both sash windows overlooking the garden and two Velux windows facing front. Additional eaves storage enhances the functionality of this upper space. Accessed through its own front door, the basement studio presents an ideal opportunity for generating rental income or could be seamlessly integrated back into the main living space with appropriate planning permissions. Its previous history as a rental unit speaks to its desirability within this sought-after location. The rear garden is generously sized, predominantly featuring lawn areas alongside paved sections suited for outdoor dining. A garden shed provides extra storage options. Situated in Summertown, this property is within walking distance of local shops, bars, restaurants, and essential amenities such as Marks & Spencer. Excellent transport links are available via Woodstock and Banbury roads which connect directly to the Oxford ring road for easy access to major routes including the A40 and M40 towards London. Oxford’s rail stations offer direct services to London Paddington and Marylebone. Furthermore, families will appreciate proximity to various esteemed state and independent schools like Summer Fields, Cherwell, St Edwards, The Dragon, Lynams, and Wychwood. This home represents a rare opportunity for buyers looking to create their ideal residence or invest in a property with significant potential in one of Oxford’s most desirable neighborhoods.
