Chain-free one-bedroom flat with 51ft private garden and parking, newly renovated.
Chain-free ground-floor one-bedroom apartment
A well-presented ground-floor one-bedroom apartment on the edge of Headington, offered chain-free and recently renovated. The kitchen and en-suite were refitted around two years ago and include integrated Zanussi hob and oven. The double bedroom opens via sliding patio doors onto a private, east-facing rear garden of about 51ft — a rare outside space for a ground-floor flat.
Practical features suit a range of buyers: allocated off-street parking, gas central heating, double glazing and a long 125-year lease originally granted in 1990 (approximately 89 years remaining). Annual costs are modest with a service charge of about £800 and a small ground rent of £100.
Location is convenient for commuters and students: regular buses to central Oxford and the John Radcliffe Hospital, a nearby cycle route, local shops, and leisure facilities within walking distance. Good local schools and a very affluent catchment add appeal for long-term resale or rental demand.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important: total internal area is compact (c.485 sq ft), broadband speeds are reported as slow, and the property is leasehold with under 100 years remaining which may affect some mortgage lenders and future resale. Overall this apartment suits first-time buyers, buy-to-let investors or anyone seeking a low-maintenance pied-à-terre with an unusually large private garden for its type.
