This two-bedroom first-floor flat in Headington offers practical starter-home living with clear upside for modernisation. At about 689 sq ft the layout provides a generous lounge/diner that opens onto a rear balcony, two double bedrooms and a compact kitchen. A private lockable shed and communal gardens add useful outdoor and storage space.
The property is leasehold with a reported ground rent of £300 and is in a block constructed c.1976–82. Heating is mains gas to a boiler and radiators; windows are double glazed (install date unknown). Council tax is described as inexpensive and broadband and mobile signals are strong — useful for commuters or home workers.
Notable drawbacks are the dated kitchen and bathroom which will need modernising, and the wider area has higher crime and deprivation levels. Prospective buyers should confirm lease length, service charges and any additional fees (lease packs, etc.) and commission a full survey before purchase. The location is a strong practical asset: multiple hospitals, Brookes University, shops and frequent buses are within easy reach.
