Assisted-living flat with lift, 24-hour staff and communal facilities.
South-facing principal rooms with good natural light
This bright, first-floor retirement apartment sits in a purpose-built assisted living community, designed for comfortable, independent living. Principal rooms face south, giving good natural light to the generous sitting/dining room. The layout includes a well-proportioned bedroom, a fitted kitchen and a walk-in wet room with shower for easy accessibility.
The development offers practical on-site benefits: lift access, 24-hour site staffing and communal facilities including a subsidised restaurant — useful for socialising and convenience. The flat is chain-free, built in 2001, and has a long lease (125-year lease from 2001, c.101 years remaining), making it suitable for buyers seeking immediate occupation without structural works.
Buyers should note the running costs: an annual service charge of £8,459.60 (review 31/03/25) and ground rent of £725.24 (review 31/08/25) are payable. Heating is electric, which may affect energy bills, and the development sits in an area recorded with higher crime levels, which some buyers will want to consider.
Positioned centrally in Bicester, the flat is a short, level walk to local shops, stations and regular transport links to Oxford, Birmingham and London. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal add practical convenience for modern living. Overall, this apartment will suit a buyer seeking a ready-made retirement community with social facilities and long lease security, provided they are comfortable with the service charges and local safety statistics.
