Bright, practical and chain-free, this two-bedroom ground-floor apartment in Park Close offers ready-to-use accommodation and strong local amenities for first-time buyers. The dual-aspect sitting room floods with east and south light and opens onto a terrace with direct access to the communal south-facing garden — a rare feature for ground-floor flats. At about 820 sq ft the layout feels generous for its type and benefits from an allocated garage in a nearby block.
The location is a key selling point: Cutteslowe Park is moments away and Oxford Parkway is just over a mile, providing regular services to London Marylebone in under an hour. Well-regarded state and independent schools are nearby, and Summertown’s shops and leisure facilities are easily accessible. The apartment sits within an established mid-20th century development (built 1967–75) with a filled-cavity wall construction and gas central heating.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with approximately 108 years remaining and a service charge of about £2,500 per year. Broadband speeds are reported as slow, and the building’s 1960s–70s construction may appeal to buyers happy to modernise kitchens or bathrooms over time rather than those seeking a fully refurbished turnkey home. Council tax is moderate and there is no flood risk.
For buyers prioritising location, outside space and transport links over a newly fitted interior, this apartment represents good value in North Oxford — particularly for first-time purchasers wanting garden access and off-street garage parking without the complications of onward chain.
