Description
A most fantastic opportunity to purchase this three bedroom fully detached house with off-street driveway parking and garaging to the rear - albeit the garage, as well as the other outbuildings and indeed the property itself, is all in need of a fair dose of TLC ...
Yes, this one is a bit of a project - but on the other hand is an incredible blank canvas, and being detached, with such a large garden and in this desirable part of North Oxford, we highly recommend coming along to take a look. Ideal for families or those seeking a peaceful yet incredibly accessible and well serviced spot within North Oxford, Cherwell catchment and also close to the mainline Oxford Parkway railway station for direct trains into London Marylebone. Don't miss out on this wonderful opportunity.
Nestled in a desirable residential area, on Kirk Close, off Rothafield Road between Sunderland Avenue and Five Mile Drive, this handsome 1950's-built bay-windowed detached house is an incredible opportunity - a bit of a renovation project, yes, but more than that - one that offers such amazing scope for extension and other development, on a generous plot, in this privileged North Oxford location.
The property boasts three bedrooms, perfect for a growing family or those seeking extra space. There is a well-maintained and generously sized garden with large lawn, room for vegetable patches and fruit trees, and patio area, adjacent to the house ideal for outdoor relaxation and entertaining guests. Additional highlights include outbuildings for storage or potential conversion.
The property benefits from off-street parking on driveway for several vehicles. With its convenient location, this property offers easy access to local amenities, schools (Cherwell catchment, as well as being close to several highly regarded independent schools in nearby Summertown, the most local high street), and transport links including frequent buses to and from the city centre, and the nearby Oxford Parkway for direct fast trains to London Marylebone in under an hour. An ideal choice for those seeking a comfortable and well-connected living environment - once you have invested your time and money into the renovation, of course. Do not miss the opportunity to make this delightful house your new home. Contact us today to arrange a viewing.

- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
