Detached house for sale in Banbury Road, Oxford OX2

This substantial 4 bed detached family home is on a sizeable and premium plot on the corner of Squitchey Lane and Banbury Road in North Oxford. This property offers a wealth of potential to upgrade, improve and extend throughout - as many other properties nearby have done in recent years - to make a truly magnificent home.

The entrance to the property is from Squitchey Lane. There is plenty of driveway parking and this wraps around the east side of the house. There is scope to make this east part of the plot much larger and really maximise the external space for storage, more parking, or to increase the footprint of the home, subject to planning.

The gravel driveway moves to stone paving as you approach the entrance door. The stone canopy and door frame combines with the sense of space and mature plants to create an excellent first impression.

Into the large hallway and you're in the spine of the house. The kitchen is first on the right hand side and provides the opportunity to create a lovely heart of the home with some modernisation and remodelling. There is the space to be creative too as you walk through the kitchen into a separate larder and utility room. A rear door leads out onto a small patio area and to the east side of the plot again.

There is rear access to the large garage from this area too.

Back across the hallway there is a large separate dining room with fireplace. A door leads onto a small west-facing patio area complete with pergola. This is a perfect space to relax and spend afternoons and evenings in the sun.

The large living room is at the end of hallway. The wide window allows plenty of natural light into the room and the original stone surround and hearth provides the possibility to create a true feature fireplace in this room subject to the necessary checks.

A large walk in shower room and cosy rear office, snug or child’s play room completes the accommodation on the ground floor.

Each of the four bedrooms on the first floor are good sized doubles and 2 of the 4 rooms have built in storage. The west-facing principal bedroom in particular has the space to be remodelled to create a stunning suite. There is a separate cloak room and another modernised walk in shower room too.

Access to the loft reveals plenty of space and the potential to convert this area into yet more living accommodation with the appropriate planning permission.

Outside to the left of the house there is gated access to the west-facing side part of the garden. A combination of mature trees and defined beds and plantings create an open space, with plenty of scope for improvement with further landscaping, and intelligence use of the plot.

The property is sold with vacant possession and no onward chain.
