A purpose-built two-bedroom apartment in Marlborough Lodge offers low‑maintenance living within easy reach of Kidlington's shops and bus routes. The apartment (c. 675 sq ft) sits in a modern, well-kept three-storey development with communal gardens, owner’s lounge, guest suite and a Lodge Manager providing daily on-site support. Security features include video entry and intruder alarms for added peace of mind.
Designed for independent retirement living, the apartment has an open-plan layout, an en-suite to the main bedroom and accessible low-level shower trays. The long lease (999 years from 2022) and fast broadband/mobile signal are practical benefits for staying connected. EPC C and council tax band D reflect reasonable running costs.
Costs to note: the annual service charge (£4,435.78) is above average and ground rent (£625 pa) is comparatively high — factor these into running costs. The property is leasehold; communal management means some restrictions on alterations and shared maintenance standards. Overall this suits buyers wanting a secure, social retirement setting with minimal upkeep rather than a project for heavy renovation.
