This ground-floor, one-bedroom apartment offers an accessible entry into East Oxford living with its own private garden and allocated parking. The open-plan living space feels bright and contemporary, with doors that open directly onto a paved courtyard — handy for morning coffee or a small pot garden. The property sits within a modern courtyard development built around 1996–2002 and benefits from double glazing and a gas boiler with radiators.
Practical features include a private entrance, share of freehold with about 102 years remaining on the lease, and a below-average service charge of approximately £600 per year. At around 474 sq ft, the accommodation is compact but well arranged for a single person or couple, with easy walking access to Cowley Road’s cafés, pubs and local shops and straightforward routes into Oxford city centre.
Buyers should note some local negatives: the area records higher crime levels than average, which may affect suitability for some purchasers, and the apartment is an average-sized unit so storage and living space are limited. Energy performance is mid-range (EPC C). Overall, this flat suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-located, low-maintenance city base with private outdoor space.
