A substantial 5 bedroom semi detached Victorian house with a separate lower ground floor flat in desirable Central North Oxford close to many of Oxford's excellent choice of schools.

Built in 1886 to a design by Wilkinson and Moore this semi detached house has been in the same ownership for 35 years and is split into a five bedroom house and a self contained one bedroom flat on the lower ground floor. The main house is arranged over 4 floors and retains period features with high ceilings, large sash windows and many original fireplaces. A porch to the side takes you to the entrance hall which opens onto the elegant drawing room with large bay window overlooking the front and the kitchen/breakfast room at the rear with steps down to the landscaped garden. There is also a cloakroom with storage on the half landing. Stairs from the hall lead up to the first floor and the principal bedroom with large bay window, fitted wardrobes and a cleverly concealed shower room, the first floor also offers a further bedroom which is currently used as a utility room and a further family bathroom. The second floor has a wonderful bedroom at the front currently used as an office, a shower room and a further bedroom overlooking the rear garden. The top floor is a super open plan attic room with wash basin and cloakroom providing flexibility for a number of uses such as a teenage games room, office or bedroom.

The lower ground floor flat is separate to the main house with it's own council tax. Accessed down steps from the rear garden it has been converted into a very welcoming flat with the bedroom at the rear with a useful cupboard and a shower room. The kitchen has good storage with wall and base units and the sitting room is light and spacious with fireplace and cornicing.

Outside to the front, there is a private driveway with gated side access to the lower ground floor flat and the rear walled garden which is mainly laid to lawn with mature and well stocked borders and flowers, shrubs and trees.

The next steps...

Establish funds

How will you fund the purchase?

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.

To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.

Some advantages of a broker are:

They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.

However advantages of working with your bank are:

You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.
