A well-presented first-floor retirement flat in Guardian Court, offered chain-free and ready to move into. The apartment has been recently refreshed with a refitted kitchen and shower room, a generous double bedroom and a living/dining room that opens onto a balcony overlooking the communal gardens. Practical features for older buyers include an emergency pull-cord system, intercom and large storage cupboard.
The location is a major selling point: Guardian Court sits within easy walking distance of Banbury town centre, shops and public transport links. The complex is popular with a friendly resident community and benefits from pleasant communal gardens and a communal lounge, offering social space and outdoor views without the need for private garden upkeep.
Important practical points are clear: the overall floor area is small (around 420 sq ft) so the layout is compact and most suitable for a single person or couple downsizing. The lease has approximately 64 years remaining — a material issue that could make mortgage lending difficult or impossible for some buyers and may affect future saleability. The service charge is about £168.10 pcm and council tax is low.
This apartment suits a retirement buyer seeking a low-maintenance, centrally located home with communal facilities and safety features. Buyers should check mortgage availability given the lease length and factor the ongoing service charge and communal living into their decision.
