We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Handsome detached Edwardian residence with exceptional potential, situated on a prime city side road.
Extending to over 1,500 sq ft and arranged across three floors, this substantial house with painted and brick elevations with ornate decorations offers elegantly proportioned accommodation with high ceilings, large windows, and a wealth of period character.
Now requiring some updating, the property presents an exciting opportunity for an incoming buyer to restore, remodel and extend subject to the necessary planning and building consents.
The accommodation comprises an arched hallway lined with bookcases and black and white chequered tile floor leading into a bay fronted drawing room and family room.
The breakfast room is the third reception area leading into the kitchen.
On the first floor there is an impressive principal bedroom (current used as a library) with feature bay window and fireplace, guest bedroom with ensuite shower room, a further bedroom, family bathroom and separate WC.
There is a further bedroom and large storage area on the second floor.
Outside, the house is screened from the road by mature hedging, it enjoys a small front garden and a north/westerly facing rear garden with wonderful potential.
Divinity Road is located to the east of the city centre and is within walking distance and the Cowley Road which has a wide range of multi-national restaurants, shops and bars.
Oxford city centre is also within walking distance where you will find a more comprehensive range of shops, cafes and restaurants.
For those commuting out of the city, there is good access to the ring road, A34 and A40 as well as the train station in the city centre.
There are an excellent range of state and independent schools close by and include Magdalen College School, Cheney School, Rye St. Anthony and Headington School.
