This recently renovated two-bedroom cottage sits within the purpose-built Penstones Court development for the over-55s, offering comfortable, low-maintenance living with far-reaching Vale of White Horse views. The re-fitted kitchen, first-floor walk-in shower room and neutral, well-maintained interiors make the property move-in ready. At about 1,167 sq ft the layout feels generous for a retirement home, with a useful cloakroom/utility and a garden room adding flexible space.
Owners benefit from estate management services that handle building maintenance, insurance, garden upkeep, window cleaning and refuse collection, enabling a true lock-up-and-leave lifestyle. On-site facilities include a laundry, a bookable guest suite, landscaped communal grounds with paddock and pond, and a resident minibus for local trips. A garage in a block provides off-street parking and extra storage.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with approximately 116 years remaining and an annual service charge of £7,968, which is above average but covers comprehensive communal services. The development is for those aged 55+, so it suits downsizers or retirees seeking community living rather than buyers wanting a freehold family home. Flood risk is low and the area is affluent with good local amenities and transport links to surrounding countryside.
Overall this cottage will suit buyers wanting an established retirement setting with communal support, generous internal space and attractive grounds, provided they are comfortable with the leasehold tenure and higher ongoing service charge.
