Overview

3 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Old Road, Headington

A magnificent example of Edwardian style this beautiful house dates from 1902 and retains a host of authentic period features including fireplaces, sash windows, original doors and door furniture.

Set back from the road and screened by a high laurel hedge and panel fence, the house is approached through double gates onto a gravelled driveway and turning area. On entering through the impressive covered front porch, the high-ceilinged hallway gives access to each of the ground floor rooms. These include the superb drawing room, currently utilized as a study, with original feature fireplace and bay window; a cosy dual-aspect sitting room with glazed door leading out to the rear garden; breakfast kitchen with walk-in pantry; laundry room and adjoining downstairs w.c. In addition there is a large general purpose room currently designated ‘the annexe’, that formerly housed a book bindery; it now serves as a studio and gallery but would also make a splendid dining room.     

Upstairs are three spacious double bedrooms, including a lovely duel-aspect master bedroom overlooking both front and rear gardens, and two further bedrooms each retaining their original fireplaces, all benefiting from the high ceilings and large windows characteristic of the period. A family bathroom, and a further separate w.c. complete the upstairs accommodation.  

The mature walled garden to the rear of the property incorporates a terrace and patio area, lawn, and numerous trees and shrubs, as well as a useful garden shed. From the rear of the house there is also access to the workshop and garage.
