A grade II listed cottage in need of updating, situated in Jericho, a highly regarded and sought after neighbourhood in North Oxford within easy reach of Oxford City and university departments.

A wonderful opportunity to acquire a lovely Grade II listed Victorian cottage designed by architect C.C.Rolfe in this highly regarded and sought after neighbourhood. The property is in need of updating with the potential to extend (subject to the necessary planning permission). Other similar cottages in the near vicinity have been extended and the basement converted to a useable living space thus creating flexible accommodation on 3 floors.

The property is entered via an attractive Gothic arched porch and entrance hall leading to a spacious sitting room at the front of the property with a large fireplace and bay window and dining room with a window overlooking the rear garden. To the rear is the kitchen with views over the rear garden and a door out to a paved area and the rear garden. The room on the lower ground floor is currently more of a storage room but offers the option to be used as a third bedroom/home office. On the first floor there are two double bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom. There is also potential to create a loft room (subject to planning). The enclosed rear garden has useful rear access to Tackley Place.

The property is situated in the highly regarded North Oxford Victorian suburb conservation area within walking distance of Port Meadow and Walton Street with its fashionable restaurants, pubs, bars, and cinema. Slightly further afield are the more extensive facilities of Oxford city centre and Summertown. There is easy access to University Departments, colleges and many of Oxford's excellent choice of private and state schools for all ages. There are cycle lanes and public transport with rail services to London Paddington and Marylebone from Oxford mainline station and frequent buses to London Victoria, Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted airports.

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.
