About this property

A charming two-bedroom home blending original character with modern comfort. Featuring two reception rooms with fireplaces, a stylishly refurbished kitchen and bathroom, double-glazed windows, gas central heating, and versatile living space including potential for a home office. A warm and inviting property in a desirable Kennington location.

Step into timeless charm and character with this beautifully maintained home, retaining its authentic wooden internal doors, this property exudes warmth and personality from the moment you enter, offering a welcoming and elegant atmosphere throughout.

The home features two generous reception rooms, each with its own fireplace, creating inviting spaces perfect for both relaxation and entertaining. One reception enjoys the cosy ambience of wood burning/multi fuel stove, ideal for winter evenings, while the second benefits from an open fireplace, providing instant warmth and comfort. These versatile living areas offer flexibility for formal dining, family gatherings, or a quiet retreat.

There are two well-proportioned bedrooms with double-glazed windows that were replaced approximately nine years ago. One bedroom could easily be transformed into a stylish study or home office, making the property perfectly suited to modern lifestyles and remote working needs. The bathroom has been tastefully refurbished, offering a fresh and contemporary feel while remaining in harmony with the home’s character.

The kitchen has also been lightly refurbished in recent years, complemented by new laminate flooring installed, enhancing both style and practicality. The updates have been carefully chosen to maintain the home’s charm while providing everyday comfort and functionality.
Heating is supplied by a gas boiler with gas radiators throughout, all windows are double glazed, improving energy efficiency and contributing to a peaceful internal environment.

Above, the loft is easily accessed from the bathroom and, while currently not boarded, offers excellent potential for storage or future enhancement, subject to the necessary permissions.

This delightful property combines period features with modern convenience, offering character, flexibility, and comfort in equal measure.

Outside
The outside space at Sandford Lane is one of its standout features, offering a blend of practical parking, secure storage and a generous garden for relaxing and entertaining. To the front, the property presents neatly from the lane and has recently benefited from new fencing. A driveway offers valuable off-street parking and leads to One garage, making day-to-day life simple whether you need room for multiple cars, bikes, tools or hobbies.

Both Garages are wired, alarmed and fitted with lighting, so they work equally well as traditional vehicle storage or secure workshop space.

A broad area of garden creates space for play, picnics or a simple run-around for pets, while surrounding planting adds colour and structure through the seasons.

At the far end of the garden sits a cosy, timber-built summerhouse, offering a sheltered retreat that extends how you can use the outdoor space. It is ideal for reading, hobbies, potting plants, or as a peaceful work-from-home hideaway on warm days.

Overall, the outside space balances practicality with lifestyle appeal: secure garages and parking to the front, and a substantial, versatile garden to the rear, complete with a charming summerhouse.

Situation
Kennington is one of Oxford’s best-loved villages, positioned just south of the city and close to the Thames-side meadows, yet with everyday amenities and easy routes into central Oxford.

For commuters, Radley railway station is the nearest rail link, at approximately 1.3 miles from the property, offering services towards London, Didcot and Oxford connections via the mainline network. Road access is equally convenient, with quick links to the ring road and the wider A34 corridor.

Public transport is a real strength locally. The Oxford Bus runs between Oxford city centre and Abingdon via Kennington and Radley, with daytime services typically around every 15 minutes. Stops are close by, making it easy to hop into town for work, shopping, restaurants and cultural attractions without needing the car.

Cyclists are well served too. The area links into National Cycle Network Route 5, giving a useful, largely traffic-free option for riding towards Oxford and out into the surrounding countryside. Proof Social Bakehouse even highlights the ease of walking or cycling to its café by following Route 5 along the canal-side path.

Proof Social Bakehouse on the Sandford Lane is roughly 0.2 miles away for artisan coffee and bakes, and The King’s Arms in Sandford-on-Thames is around 0.4 miles away for riverside pub lunches and relaxed evenings. Oxford’s colleges, museums, theatres and the Westgate shopping centre are all within easy reach, while the village setting keeps the pace of life calm when you return home.



Outdoor lovers will appreciate the nearby riverside paths and locks. Sandford Lock is a short walk or cycle away, and the towpaths offer scenic routes for runs and dog walks. From here you can continue along the Thames towards Iffley and Oxford, or head the other direction towards Radley and Abingdon. It’s a location that makes it easy to mix commuting convenience with countryside-style weekends.
