Property description
A very handsome four bedroom semi detached house built in 1925 with a garage, driveway parking and a beautiful rear garden.
The current owner has extended the house to the rear to create a wonderful kitchen/breakfast room with a downstairs shower room and has converted the loft. The windows are double glazed and the whole buildings walls and floors are insulated.
There is still scope to extend further if required and also bring the garage into the house (subject to usual planning consents).
4 bedrooms, bathroom, shower room, sitting/dining room/study, kitchen/breakfast room, entrance hall, garage, garden.
SITUATION The property lies just north of the main Summertown shopping parade in this well placed side road. The Summertown shops provide an extensive range of every day facilities including shops, doctors' and dentists' surgeries, public library and sports centre with pool. There is a regular bus service along Banbury Road into the city centre. North Oxford is particularly sought after due to its wide range of popular schools and access to the city, Port Meadow and the University Parks. Later this year Summertown will also benefit from a new train station opening up at Oxford Parkway with a frequent service to London Marylebone.
