About
Located in a much-loved part of West Oxford, 1 Helen Road is a particularly charming three-bedroom end-of-terrace home, full of warmth, character and wonderfully individual touches.
From the moment you step inside, it is clear that this is a home that has been thoughtfully cared for and enjoyed over the years.
Much of the original character remains, including lovely original hardwood flooring, while a number of the home's more unusual features have their own story to tell.
The staircase and banister, for example, were created using reclaimed timber rescued by a previous owner, while some of the shelving has been made from reclaimed wood originating from a monastery in Scotland.
These details give the house a genuine sense of history and personality that is increasingly difficult to find.
The accommodation is well balanced, with two generous double bedrooms and a further single bedroom, making this a versatile home for a couple, young family or anyone needing a little extra space for guests, working from home or hobbies.
The family bathroom is bright and practical, while downstairs there is a welcoming living space alongside a well-positioned kitchen, creating a comfortable and sociable heart to the home.
The current owners have also undertaken a number of sensible improvements, including the installation of a new consumer unit, a new boiler and several new radiators, helping to improve the home's efficiency while retaining its period character.
Outside, the property has a wonderfully sweet courtyard garden, a manageable and private space that is ideal for morning coffee, summer evenings or simply enjoying a little bit of outdoor space without the upkeep of a large garden.
And then there is the location. Helen Road sits in a superb position for making the most of both Oxford and the surrounding amenities.
Botley Park is close by and provides a fantastic community resource, with pay-and-play tennis courts, a children's play area, community centre and café.
There is also excellent access into Oxford city centre and Oxford railway station, making commuting and enjoying everything the city has to offer particularly convenient.
For everyday shopping and amenities, Botley is also close at hand, with Waitrose, Aldi, the retail park and a range of other shops and services all within easy reach.
In short, 1 Helen Road is a home with real soul: a beautifully characterful three-bedroom house, filled with original features, thoughtful reclaimed details and the unmistakable feeling of a home that has been loved.
It offers the best of both worlds — period charm and modern practical improvements, together with an enviable West Oxford location. Parking - Driveway
