A bright first-floor apartment in the heart of Summertown, this two-bedroom home combines convenient town living with a private garage and a small balcony. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen space gives flexible everyday living for a couple or two sharers, while the double and smaller double bedrooms include built-in storage for practical use.
The building has period character on the exterior with a well-maintained façade and dormer windows, and the apartment benefits from double glazing and a mains gas boiler. The long lease (990 years) removes a common leasehold concern, and the property sits in a very affluent, low-crime neighbourhood with excellent mobile signal and good access to highly regarded local schools.
There are clear modernization needs: the kitchen is a dated 1970s fit with older cabinets, laminate surfaces and an electric stove, so updating would improve functionality and value. Broadband speeds are average and the bathroom is basic; buyers should factor modest refurbishment costs into their budget.
Overall, this is a practical, well-located first purchase or buy-to-let opportunity that offers immediate use with straightforward potential to add value through targeted improvements. The garage and central Summertown location are standout positives for city living without parking stress.
