4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Headington, Oxford, Oxfordshire OX3

This traditional semi-detached Edwardian family home is a charming property with a classic layout, situated on a quiet residential road. To complement the period features such as traditional sash windows, the current owners have made a number of improvements, including insulation. There is secondary glazing on the Edwardian windows to preserve them and double-glazed plastic windows in the extension.

The house is entered via a partially glazed front door featuring stained-glass panels, which opens into a welcoming hallway. Engineered wood flooring extends through much of the ground-
floor reception space. To the front of the house is a bright sitting room, centred around a mock gas fireplace and enhanced by a bay window. This flows through to the dining room, with French doors opening onto the garden. The kitchen combines character and practicality, with space for a dining table, and a range of painted units topped with ceramic work surfaces and with an integrated oven. Beyond the kitchen is a family bathroom.

On the first floor are three bedrooms, all of which are doubles. The front bedroom benefits from built-in storage, and these rooms are served by a family shower room. The second floor has been converted to provide a versatile annexe area, featuring exposed roof timbers, Velux windows, a kitchenette nook, and a separate en suite shower room. Offering excellent flexibility, this space could suit extended family living, guest accommodation, or potential income generation through letting, subject to the necessary permissions and consents.

The property is approached via a paved pathway bordered by mature planting, set behind a low brick wall with a wrought iron gate. Residents’ on-street parking is available.

A particular feature of this home is its beautifully established rear garden, creating a wonderfully private and leafy setting. Enclosed by mature hedging and fencing, the garden is predominantly laid to lawn and framed by deep, well-stocked borders that provide colour, texture and seasonal interest throughout the year.
