3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Oxford Road, Old Marston, Oxford OX3

Situated in the sought-after suburban area of Oxford, Old Marston, this well-presented three-bedroom home offers a fantastic blend of character, space, and modern upgrades. Built in 1952 and owned by the same family since 2001, the property has been thoughtfully improved over time while still offering scope for further personalisation or extension (subject to planning).

The ground floor combines period features with contemporary updates. A welcoming hallway with understairs storage leads through to a bright living room with a large front window and scope to reinstate a working fireplace or log burner. The dining room is a generous space, retaining original floorboards, and flows through to the sun room/utility — a versatile space with doors to the garden and glasswork replaced around 10 years ago. The kitchen, refitted in 2021, is finished to a high standard, with integrated appliances including a tall fridge, oven/microwave, dishwasher and induction hob, and connects seamlessly to the utility/sun room.

Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a large double, the second also a comfortable double, while the third can take a double bed but works best as a spacious single or study. A brand-new bathroom, completed in March 2025, provides a stylish and contemporary suite with fully tiled surrounds, shower over bath, and window for natural light.

One of the property’s useful features is the loft: A huge, plastered, ventilated, boarded, and lit space, previously used as a playroom but offering excellent potential for conversion (subject to planning).

Outside, the easterly-facing garden is of a good size, offering both lawn and patio areas, with fencing to the left and rear boundaries. A garden room, built in place of the former garage in 2019, provides an insulated, powered and lit retreat, complete with decking and outdoor heating — perfect as a summer house, home office or studio. The property also benefits from tandem parking for two cars at the front.

With its combination of modern upgrades — including a new boiler (2021), replacement windows (2003), new kitchen (2021), and brand-new bathroom (2025) — alongside its original character, large loft, and excellent location within Old Marston, this is a home with both charm and opportunity.
