Situated in Oxford’s sought-after Iffley Village, this semi-detached home was built in the 1930s and later extended in the 1970s. A much-loved family home, it offers space, a great family-friendly setting and great connectivity with the wider area – now ready for its next owner, the property presents an exciting opportunity for personalisation or more extensive renovations.

A traditional layout leads from a welcoming reception hall (with a useful cupboard under the stairs) to a reception room that runs from the front to the back of the house; this is currently used as an open plan sitting room and dining room. At the rear, a light-filled kitchen overlooks the garden and leads to a utility room and a cloakroom with WC. Upstairs there are two generous double bedrooms on the first floor and a smaller bedroom, as well as a family bath and shower room.

Outside

The garden to the rear is tucked away, surrounded by mature, well-established trees that provide both shade and natural privacy. A large shed offers storage, while a terrace at the back of the house is the ideal space to sit and enjoy the views. A lawn – deceptively spacious – leads through the garden, dotted with shrubs and bushes. At the front of the house, a private driveway and covered car port are accessed via double wrought iron gates, with a separate pedestrian gate leading to the front door. A parcel of green is set behind a low wall, bordered by mature shrubs – the perfect first impression.

Situation

The popular Iffley Road is situated within a conservation area in the Iffley Village area of Oxford. The village, though just two miles from the city centre, retains a unique community feel, with leafy residential roads, historic architecture and an active and vibrant social scene. Local amenities include village stores, pubs and services, with more extensive amenities available at Oxford Retail Park – including superstore shopping – and within the city centre.

There are lovely walks and bike rides along the Thames towpath into central Oxford, reached by crossing Iffley Lock, with delightful views over the water meadows and the university boathouses. Frequent bus services leave from stops along Iffley Road while Oxford station provides regular rail services to London Paddington in 55 minutes. Oxford Parkway has services to London Marylebone. Iffley is conveniently located for the well-regarded selection of central Oxford schools, together with a good selection of independent schools including Cherwell College.
