Queens Road, Banbury, OX16

A beautifully presented Victorian home, rich in character and thoughtfully renovated throughout, offering three double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a generous 90ft rear garden.

Situated within a popular Victorian street, just a short walk from the town centre, this attractive period home combines original character with a carefully considered programme of improvements. The accommodation is arranged over three floors and includes two reception rooms, a refitted kitchen/breakfast room, three well-proportioned double bedrooms and a particularly spacious four-piece bathroom.

The property retains a wealth of character features, including original floorboards, traditional column radiators and exposed brickwork, complemented by tasteful finishes and a selection of more recent improvements. The result is a home that feels both individual and well-appointed, with the benefit of a generous rear garden.

The ground floor opens into an entrance hallway, leading through to two separate reception rooms. The sitting room enjoys a pleasant outlook to the front and features exposed original floorboards and a log-burning stove. To the rear, the living/dining room provides a further inviting reception space, also featuring a log-burning stove, engineered wood flooring and useful understairs storage. An original glazed door leads through to the kitchen.

The kitchen/breakfast room was refitted in 2023 and has been designed to sit comfortably alongside the character of the house. A range of cabinetry is complemented by Caesarstone Quartz work surfaces, a Belfast sink with Lusso tap and a Bertazzoni oven with gas hob. Integrated appliances include a fridge freezer, dishwasher, microwave and washing machine. Velux roof windows bring additional natural light into the room, whilst the breakfast area provides space to sit and enjoy views across the rear garden. Black-framed aluminium glazing and doors further enhance the connection between the kitchen and outside space.

The first floor provides two double bedrooms, both retaining the property's traditional character. The second bedroom is a particularly generous room with a built-in wardrobe and front-facing sash-style window, whilst the third bedroom overlooks the rear garden and benefits from an adjoining en-suite area with WC and wash basin. A further staircase rises to the second floor, where the principal bedroom occupies an appealing position, featuring exposed original floorboards, a built-in wardrobe and a traditional column radiator.

Completing the accommodation is a spacious four-piece bathroom, beautifully refitted in 2023. The suite comprises a freestanding bath, large separate shower enclosure with rainfall shower, traditional WC and a bespoke-style vanity incorporating an antique drawer unit with marble top. Decorative gold-toned tiling, feature wall panelling, underfloor heating and a traditional column radiator with towel rail add to the overall finish.

Outside, the property enjoys an attractive frontage, approached via a wrought iron gate and traditional terracotta tiled pathway. The front garden is predominantly laid to shingle, with low-level walling and further gated access to the side passageway.

The rear garden is a particularly appealing feature, extending to approximately 90ft in length. A patio provides space for outdoor dining and entertaining, beyond which the garden is predominantly laid to lawn, with established flower and shrub borders, a traditional brick border and shingle pathway. A large timber shed provides useful storage at the far end, whilst the garden is enclosed by timber fencing and original brick walling. There is also gated side access, an outside tap and an external power point.

The property has benefited from a number of improvements in recent years, including the kitchen and bathroom refits, replacement windows to most of the accommodation, a new combination boiler and an updated consumer unit. A damp proof course has also been completed to the sitting room and living/dining room, with a 10-year warranty.

An attractive period home offering a lovely balance of character, thoughtful improvements and generous outside space, ideally positioned for access to the town centre.
