Oxford Gardens runs parallel with Sandon Road, on the north side of the town and is within easy reach of schools, local shops, places of work, public transport and other facilities.

The property has been neglected over some years and now needs a scheme of upgrading and repair for which there is significant potential.  Briefly, the accommodation comprises two inter-linked reception rooms, a kitchen - which requires fitting - a rear entrance hall and a large former bathroom and/or utility room, which is also unfitted.  At first floor level there are three good sized bedrooms.  To the rear is a shared access roadway and within the rear garden is a block built garage, but of narrow proportions and may not realistically accommodate a vehicle without extension/alteration.

An inspection is strongly recommended to appreciate the potential of the house which has had a central heating system installed, and with existing boiler although it is not known whether this is operational.
