Description
This Provisional Advert will be followed soon by a full ad with internal photos and floor plan, but in the meantime don't delay - get in touch to book a viewing today.
The accommodation includes a good Living Room that leads through a Hallway/Study area to the large Kitchen/Diner extension,allotments fitted with a range of cupboard units and worktops, and with doors out to the garden. There is a ground floor WC and storage area.
On the first floor there are three Bedrooms, including one in the extension that has a Juliet Balcony with double doors, to exploit the fantastic views across gardens, and Port Meadow. There is a Family Bathroom.
Other houses in the area have had their lofts converted to provide further bedroom/bathroom accommodation; we have not inspected the loft, but suggest that this might be a possibility to look into, should further accommodation be desired.
Outside the property there is front garden and parking, and to the rear a long garden that leads down to allotments. Around half (unmeasured) of the back of the garden is rented from the local authority by a historic long-term agreement (previous bills have been 13p for the year!) - something that is not as uncommon as it might sound, but which needs to be disclosed and understood by prospective purchasers.
The property is situated in Wolvercote St Peter, or 'Upper Wolvercote' - a village inside the Oxford Ring Road, accessed from the top of Woodstock Road providing easy access into the City Centre, either by road/bus, or by foot - including the pleasant walk along the canal. The Oxford Parkway mainline railway station is within easy reach, as is Summertown providing a range of shops, bars, restaurants and other facilities. In the village itself there is pub, primary school and church, and in neighbouring Lower Wolvercote two pubs (three, including The Trout at Godstow) and village store.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- 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).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
