A bright, ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in a small 2002 development, quietly positioned just south of Folly Bridge and a short walk into Oxford city centre. The south-facing living room with a bay window and open-plan fitted kitchen gives a feeling of space despite a compact overall footprint, while the double bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room with an oversized cubicle. Attractive communal gardens and secure cycle/bin stores add practical outdoor space.
The flat is well suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-maintenance city-base close to transport links and green riverside walks. There is no mains gas: heating and hot water are electric via room heaters and an electric system. uPVC double glazing and a current EPC C rating mean the property is generally efficient for its age, though buyers seeking the highest efficiency should plan potential upgrades.
Practical considerations include no parking or residents’ permit rights, an annual service charge (£1,468.88 to 31/03/26) and a small ground rent (£150 pa, RPI reviews every 25 years). The lease is long (c.976 years remaining), and broadband and mobile connectivity are good. Flood risk is low historically and the seller states the flat has never flooded.
