A bright, newly renovated one-bedroom retirement apartment tucked above the town centre, ideal for anyone looking to downsize without sacrificing location. The first-floor position is served by a lift and the generous sitting room overlooks well-kept communal gardens, giving a calm aspect to the heart of Bicester. The kitchen and shower room have both been updated, so the flat is largely move-in ready.
Practicalities are straightforward: the property is leasehold with approximately 87 years remaining, electric storage heating, and off-street parking on a first-come, first-served basis. Broadband and mobile coverage are good and the flat is a short walk from the Market Square, shops and rail connections to Oxford and London. There is no onward chain, which can speed a purchase.
Buyers should note material costs attached to this development. The annual service charge is relatively high at £4,889.88 and ground rent is £480.54 per year. The lease length (87 years remaining) may affect future mortgage options and resale value unless extended. The building was constructed before 2000 and Artex has been recorded; potential purchasers should seek specialist advice about asbestos-containing materials if concerned.
This apartment suits someone seeking a centrally located, low-maintenance home with communal facilities and garden views. It offers immediate comfort with scope to personalise, but buyers should budget for ongoing service charges and consider lease length when assessing long-term value.
