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
Situated on one of the most desirable residential side streets just off the Botley Road in West Oxford, Alexandra Road is a beautifully presented three bedroom Victorian terrace that has been thoughtfully modernised to provide well balanced, practical living space with a calm, contemporary finish throughout.
Ideally positioned for the city centre, Botley Road amenities and Oxford railway station, the property is particularly convenient for commuters as well as day to day living.
The current owners have sympathetically and practically improved the home through an extensive programme of renovation since purchasing the property in 2022.
As part of these works the house has benefited from newly refurbished double glazed sash windows throughout, alongside additional insulation which improves heat retention in the winter while helping keep the house cool during the summer months.
The ground floor offers a generous open plan sitting and dining room which is naturally bright thanks to the attractive bay window and neutral décor.
Character features including timber flooring and a feature fireplace sit comfortably alongside bespoke cabinetry, creating a space that feels both welcoming and functional for everyday living and entertaining.
To the rear of the property, the kitchen has been carefully updated in a classic shaker style and finished in deep blue tones with solid wood worktops, tiled splashbacks and integrated appliances.
The room offers excellent storage and preparation space while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic, further enhanced by the addition of underfloor heating.
Upstairs there are three well proportioned bedrooms.
The principal bedroom benefits from extensive fitted wardrobes providing excellent storage, while the remaining rooms offer flexibility for family living, guests or home working.
The first floor is completed by a modern family bathroom and a useful large storage cupboard located on the landing.
Access to the loft is available from the landing, where there is currently generous storage space as well as clear potential for a loft conversion, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents.
Outside, the rear garden has been landscaped for low maintenance use with paved seating areas and established planting, creating a private outdoor space to relax or entertain.
At the end of the garden sits a detached studio, currently arranged as a home office and workshop.
The studio benefits from electricity and internet connection, making it ideal for remote working, hobbies or additional flexible space.
Behind the studio there is also a cleverly hidden bike storage area positioned between the fence and the studio building, comfortably accommodating up to three adult bicycles.
The garden further benefits from rear access to a pathway via a secure locked gate with keypad code entry.
