The Slade, Headington, Oxford, OX3

Handsome, 1930s home in convenient location. Set within a half mile radius of the Churchill Hospital, Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre and the Oxford University Old Road campus, this semi-detached home is adjacent to the Lye Valley Nature Reserve and has the benefit of being sold with no onward chain. The property has been in the same family ownership for over forty years and has been extended during that time. There may be scope for further enlargement, particularly into the loft space (subject to the usual consents). The accommodation, currently set over two storeys, is briefly composed of four bedrooms (one with shower enclosure), shower room and separate WC to the first floor, and extended sitting/family room, elegant dining room, kitchen/breakfast room and cloakroom to the ground floor. The property retains a number of character features including the servants' bells in the kitchen (although the working condition is not known!). Outside, the property is approached by a driveway which provides parking for several vehicles. It has a lawned garden to the front enclosed by attractive stone walling, hedging and fencing. The driveway continues to the side of the house and leads to the detached garage. Immediately to the rear of the house is a sheltered paved terrace providing a pleasant spot to enjoy the afternoon sun. A metal gate and steps then lead to a further, significantly larger expanse of garden which has been largely untended in recent times. In total, the garden extends to a maximum depth of approximately 330ft (101m). Contact the office for further information and to book a viewing.
