Coined in 1967, Lakeside was developed on the surrounding grounds of the Kingerlee brickworks site just north of the Oxford ring road. 38 Lakeside retains the character and much of the original features of that era of home building and would have started out as a 4-bedroom property. In 1981, planning was granted to allow the construction of a new detached garage. The planning also included the conversion of the existing garage to become a study and alterations to the kitchen and porch, as well as the front door being moved to open out onto the side driveway. Then in 1992, a single storey extension was granted for the front and rear.
Lakeside benefits from having close access to major roads connecting Oxford to London, the North and West Oxfordshire. The Oxford Parkway rail station is approximately 6 minutes’ drive away or 8 minutes by bicycle. Local amenities are available in Summertown to the South along Banbury Road where a select range of shops and services are available, including a GP doctors’ surgery, dental practices, a public library and sports centre. Alternatively, there are plenty of amenities available in Kidlington or Oxford City Centre.
