5 bed semi-detached house for sale

Lathbury Road, Oxford OX2

Abundant natural light, generously sized rooms, and original features such as elegant staircases, decorative fireplaces, and classic sash windows create a sophisticated yet warm and fairy-tale like atmosphere. The current owner has paid particular attention to ensure energy efficiency while still maintaining the character of this early 20th century home.

Upon entering the property, you are greeted by the spacious entrance hall, leading seamlessly into the front sitting room, where a large bay window bathes the room in natural light. The decorative fireplace and wooden floorboards add to the charm this room exudes. To the right sits the study, which also benefits from another bay window, creating the perfect work-from-home or office space. From here, the property flows into the drawing room, which features another grand fireplace and wooden floorboards, and into the bright and airy dining room beyond, where the garden can be accessed from the double patio doors.
The light-filled kitchen/breakfast room, with its dual sinks, shaker style wooden cabinets, and large kitchen island containing plenty of storage, creates the ideal space for cooking and entertaining. Another set of double doors lead out to the patio area, perfect for alfresco dining or a summer soiree. This floor is completed by a utility room, a downstairs shower room, and an additional room which could be used as a playroom featuring parquet flooring and a tiled fireplace, with separate outside access via the side of the house.

Leading upstairs to the first-floor landing, beautiful stained-glass windows trickle coloured beams of daylight through each panel, which have been carefully double-glazed to ensure energy efficiency. The principal bedroom boasts an ensuite bathroom with a standalone tub, a set of two matching sinks, and a separate shower, plus a private balcony overlooking the lush garden. Two further ensuite bedrooms, one of which also has a garden-facing balcony, complete this floor, along with another double bedroom with a feature fireplace and a spacious family bathroom. An additional large bedroom with dual aspect windows sits on the top floor, as well as a family bathroom and loft space, ideal for guests or larger families.

Sympathetically restoring its original Edwardian character over the years, the current owner has truly transformed this property into the elegant family home that it is today.
