Listed 16 Oct 2026 · price reduced 4 Nov 2026 · Oxford
A beautifully renovated four-bedroom Victorian home dating back to the 1880s, with a fascinating local history, exceptional attention to detail and a delightful walled courtyard garden. Offered for sale with no onward chain.
Tucked away in the heart of Headington, is this distinctive period home which has undergone an extensive programme of renovation and improvement, thoughtfully combining the character of its Victorian origins with the quality and comfort of modern living.
Believed to date from the 1880s, the property has an interesting connection to Headington's past, having once been the home of local stonemason Charles Ricketts. Originally known as 33 East Street, the house forms part of historic New Headington and offers a wonderful opportunity to own a home with a genuine sense of history.
The current owners have undertaken significant improvements throughout, with considerable investment in the quality of materials, craftsmanship and finishes. Attractive oak flooring and a beautifully crafted oak staircase complement the property's period character, whilst newly installed premium Aluco windows provide a stylish contemporary finish.
At the heart of the home is a superb bespoke German Häcker kitchen, combining high-quality cabinetry with thoughtful design and functionality. The open plan design of the ground floor living areas provides a generous kitchen/dining area, as the hub of the house for everyday living and entertaining, complemented by separate areas to relax around the wood burner or hideaway in the front reception/study area.
A particularly appealing feature of the ground floor is the fourth bedroom, complete with its own en suite and double doors opening directly onto the courtyard garden. This versatile space is equally suited to guest accommodation, multigenerational living or a private home office.
The first floor provides three further bedrooms and a family bathroom, with the accommodation offering flexibility for a variety of buyers.
Outside, the property continues to impress. A paved driveway provides valuable off-street parking, whilst the attractive walled boundaries create a wonderful sense of privacy and enclosure. The mature courtyard garden is a particularly appealing feature, offering a peaceful and established outdoor space, ideal for relaxing or entertaining.
Perrin Street is a charming residential road within the historic heart of Headington, conveniently positioned for the extensive amenities of Headington's shopping centre, local cafés, restaurants and everyday facilities. The area is also particularly well placed for access to Oxford's major hospitals, Oxford Brookes University, local schools and regular bus services into the city centre and towards London.
