This second-floor two-bedroom flat in Headington offers a practical first home or buy-to-let in a well-connected part of Oxford. The apartment has a generous lounge/diner opening onto a balcony, two double bedrooms and a compact kitchen with scope for modernization. A private lockable shed and communal gardens add useful outdoor and storage space.
The location is a major strength: close to Churchill, Nuffield and John Radcliffe hospitals, near Brookes University and served by frequent bus links to the city centre and ring road. Local amenities, schools and green space such as Bury Knowle Park are within easy reach, supporting everyday life and rental demand.
Structurally the block dates from the 1976–82 period and has double glazing; cavity walls are assumed partially insulated. The flat shows some dated fittings — notably the kitchen and bathroom — so buyers should factor in refurbishment costs to modernise finishes and appliances. The property is leasehold with an annual ground rent of £300 and may incur additional leasehold-related fees.
Buyers should note higher local crime statistics and pockets of area deprivation when considering location and security measures. Services and appliances have not been tested; a full survey and checks on the lease length and service charges are recommended before purchase.
