Oxford Headington

Derwent Avenue, is a light-filled and well-proportioned 1930s semi-detached home with original character features and clear potential for enhancement, situated on one of Headington’s most desirable residential avenues. Perfectly placed for access to excellent schools and amenities, this is a rare opportunity to modernise and extend a classic Oxford home (subject to planning).

The property retains much of its original charm, including the elegant bay-fronted sitting room with original fireplace and a second reception room to the rear, currently used as a dining room.  A kitchen lies to the side and house with a useful larder cupboard offering additional storage. Many homes along the street have successfully reconfigured this space into a larger open-plan kitchen/dining arrangement.

On the first floor, the property offers three bedrooms, two doubles and a smaller third ideal as a study or nursery. The family bathroom completes the upper floor, with scope to re-style or extend the layout depending on your needs.

Externally, the rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and is enclosed providing a safe and private space for children or pets. At the far end of the garden is a detached outbuilding/store, which could be repurposed as a garden office or hobby room (subject to consents).

Derwent Avenue is a quiet, tree-lined residential road popular with families, professionals, and academics alike. It sits within the catchment for The Cherwell School and enjoys convenient access to local hospitals, Oxford Brookes University, parks, and excellent transport links into the city centre and to London.
