Helen Road is a short street leading directly off from the Botley Road, leading at the end of the road with pedestrian access into Botley Park. Helen Road was named after one of the children Thomas Henry Kingerlee the builder, and dates back to about 1910.Today the street has a pleasing mix of outwardly comparable properties, but over the years many of these houses have been extended and/or remodelled internally, to suit the occupier's needs and requirements at that time. Located within three quarters of a mile from the heart of Oxford city, Helen Road is also within half a mile the busy intercity rail station connecting to London Paddington. West Oxford is located amongst several green spaces and canal/riverside walks. 'Modern' West Oxford, was built on the site of Osney's ancient Abbey, and now extends west across from the cottages of Osney Island. These short streets comprise of both Victorian, Edwardian and 1930s houses, all close to the open parks/green areas. The community supports a good range of shops, several public houses, allotments, an excellent primary school, local businesses, community centre plus a Waitrose supermarket on the Botley Road. West Oxford has a very active and supportive local community.  

The property has been significantly improved and extended over the last few years, and offers an attractive mix of both period features including fireplaces, exposed sanded and sealed timber flooring (within the hallway and receptions), plus more contemporary additions. Part of these improvements includes double glazed units, installed in the original sash windows. Also during the course of updating and extension the vendors installed several roof windows (in the family kitchen breakfast room, the fourth bedroom and bathroom on the first floor, plus the second floor en suite, and second floor bedroom, plus the main bedroom has large picture windows to one side). All this adds to the amount of light coming into the property and in our opinion, enhances the appeal of this lovely family home.
