An extended, detached house, set in a large corner plot on Woodstock Road, could make an ideal base for a family.

The four-bedroom property, built in the 1930s, also has the advantage of two single-storey extension wings, each providing a study/bedroom and shower room.

Huw Warren, of agents Savills, said: “The really useful thing about this house is that there is a degree of flexibility. The present owners have used the two wings, which are self-contained, for letting to tenants.

“There is a fall-back there, in that if things get tough financially, it is extremely easy to generate extra income on a temporary or permanent basis.

“Of course, the annexes are also extremely useful for putting up guests or relatives, especially family visiting from abroad who may be staying for a significant length of time.”

The ground-floor accommodation includes a sitting room with feature fireplace set with woodburner- style stove and a French door to the garden terrace.

The dining room, which also has an open fireplace, includes two windows, while the kitchen has been fitted with wooden units and spotlights. All three rooms have stripped wooden floors and the kitchen has windows on two sides. There is also a utility room and a larder.

The four bedrooms are all on the first floor, plus there is a family shower room.

At the front of the house is a private driveway which leads to a large, gravelled area and there is also a lawn with a number of trees and shrubs.

The back garden, which is westerly facing, includes a slate terrace, large area of lawn and mature shrubs and trees.

Mr Warren added: “One of the aspects I like best about this house is the west-facing garden and attractive terrace which catches the sun long into the afternoon and evening.

“The gravel area at the front provides plenty of parking space and the location is incredibly convenient for all the schools and other amenities in North Oxford.”
