This recently built (2021) apartment offers a bright, high-spec living space on the edge of Oxford, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking an affordable route into the city. The open-plan kitchen/living area opens onto a private balcony, and the fully integrated kitchen plus two double bedrooms provide comfortable, ready-to-live-in accommodation across about 800 sq ft.
Practical benefits include two bathrooms (one en suite), two useful storage cupboards off the entrance hall, an EPC rating of B and a long 125-year lease from 2022. The development has landscaped communal gardens, resident allotments and cycleways, with excellent links to the Science and Business Parks, local supermarkets, leisure facilities and the Eastern Bypass for A34/M40 access.
This is a shared ownership opportunity (40% initially, option to buy up to 100%), which lowers the upfront cost compared with outright purchase. There is no ground rent and the current service charge is £2,432.52 per year; council tax sits in Band C.
Considerations: parking is on-street with residents’ permit only, and recorded local crime levels are very high — buyers should satisfy themselves on safety and security measures. The property is Leasehold; the service charge should be accounted for in monthly budgets despite the attractive purchase route provided by shared ownership.
