A bright, well-presented first-floor one-bedroom flat in the heart of Bourton-on-the-Water, ideal for downsizers or buyers seeking village life on a manageable scale. The apartment benefits from a southerly aspect, a single garage and access to a shared garden, all within a short level walk of the high street and local shops.
Practical ownership is straightforward: a 999‑year lease (981 years remaining) and a one‑eighteenth share of the freehold. Annual service charges are low at £300, with a separate buildings insurance payment. Council Tax is in Band B, reflecting modest running costs.
Buyers should note some limitations: heating is by electric room heaters and individual electric appliances, so energy costs are likely higher than gas-heated homes. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow, which may affect home working. Double glazing is present but install date is unknown. The flat sits within an ageing neighbourhood profile and shares communal areas with other residents.
Overall this is a comfortable, low-maintenance village flat with strong location appeal, long lease security and clear potential for cosmetic personalisation. It suits someone wanting a compact home with easy access to Bourton’s shops, pubs and countryside, rather than a buyer seeking high‑speed connectivity or low-energy heating systems.
