This first-floor two-bedroom apartment in the Lark Hill Waterways development offers a practical, low‑maintenance home in a sought-after Oxford suburb. The open-plan living/kitchen/dining area provides the principal living space, while two double bedrooms (one with ensuite) and built-in storage make the layout efficient for everyday living. Allocated off-street parking and a 671 sq ft footprint are useful conveniences for owner-occupiers or buy-to-let investors.
The building dates from 2007 onwards and benefits from double glazing and electric underfloor heating, with a long lease of 104 years remaining and no flood risk. The property sits in a very affluent area popular with highly qualified professionals and tech workers, close to local amenities, good schools and leisure facilities — a short commute into the city centre makes it appealing to working buyers.
Buyers should note a few practical drawbacks: the property is leasehold, broadband speeds in the area are slow, and council tax is above average. Heating is electric (not a communal system), which can mean higher running costs compared with gas central heating. Communal grounds are small and there is no private garden. Overall this is a sensible, low‑maintenance two-bedroom apartment that suits first-time buyers, professionals or investors looking for a straightforward property in a desirable postcode.
