Chain-free two-bedroom apartment on Cumnor Hill, offered with a long lease and straightforward local amenities. The open-plan living and kitchen area is bright and sociable, with a kitchen island and built-in storage that make the most of the compact living space. Off-street parking and access to communal garden space add outdoor practicality in a very low-crime, affluent neighbourhood.
A key asset is the wide boarded and insulated loft with electrics and a dormer window — already set up for conversion to an additional room or home office (subject to consent). The property is modest in size (524 sq ft) with one shower room, so it will suit first-time buyers, professionals or downsizers seeking low running costs (Council Tax Band B) and fast broadband for home working.
Buyers should note a recent structural history: a Certificate of Structural Adequacy was issued in 2024 after remedial works addressing historic root-induced subsidence. The repairs are completed, but prospective buyers are advised to check mortgage/insurance terms with their lender or broker. The flat is leasehold (996 years remaining) — effectively a long lease — and double glazing is present though the install date is unknown.
Overall this mid-century apartment offers a practical, low-maintenance base close to local shops, bus routes into Oxford and several well-rated schools. It presents immediate move-in potential with clear scope to add value through loft conversion or cosmetic updating where desired.
