Helen Road, Oxford, Oxfordshire, OX2 0DF

The House

A beautifully presented three bedroom Victorian terraced home on Helen Road, offering a wonderful mix of period character, clever design and modern family living.

The ground floor opens into a light and welcoming open plan lounge and dining area, creating a sociable space that works perfectly for both everyday living and entertaining. The room is full of character, with original timber floors, a charming original fireplace and reconditioned original double glazed sash windows, giving the house a warm period feel while still being practical and comfortable.

There is also useful understairs cupboard storage, helping keep the living space clean and uncluttered.

To the rear, the house has been thoughtfully extended to create a modern kitchen with direct doors opening out onto the garden. This gives the rear of the property a lovely connection to the outside space, making it ideal for summer dining, family use or entertaining guests.

The landscaped rear garden is a real highlight. It has been carefully designed to feel private, attractive and easy to enjoy, with a covered side return adding further practicality for bikes, bins, storage or sheltered outdoor use.

Upstairs, the layout has been cleverly improved, with the bathroom moved to the centre of the house to create a large family bathroom as well as an en suite to the main bedroom. This gives the property a much more practical and premium layout than many traditional Victorian terraces.

The home offers three large double bedrooms, including a loft extension that creates a bright and spacious top floor bedroom. Throughout, the property feels light, bright and well balanced, with generous rooms, character features and a layout that makes excellent use of the space.
