Characterful two-bedroom flat with long lease, parking and communal gardens.
Two double bedrooms with high ceilings and large windows
Bright, spacious and surprisingly characterful, this two-double-bedroom apartment sits within a converted Victorian building on Bennett Crescent. Soaring full-height windows and high ceilings flood the living room and kitchen/dining area with light, creating an airy feel across the 716 sq ft layout. An allocated parking space and well-kept communal gardens add practical outdoor and parking benefits that are rare for the area.
The apartment comes with an exceptionally long lease (972 years) and occupies a convenient East Oxford position with easy bus links to central Oxford, nearby shops, cafés and the Temple Cowley shopping area. The local transport connections also serve Oxford Brookes University and John Radcliffe Hospital, making the flat suitable for professionals, students or first-time buyers seeking strong local amenities.
Buyers should note material running costs and some operational details: the property uses electric storage heaters and the service charge is £2,490 per annum. The neighbourhood records above-average crime levels, which will be a consideration for some purchasers. Internally the size is average for a two-bedroom apartment and there may be scope to modernise finishes to match the building’s striking architectural proportions.
Overall this apartment offers a rare combination of period character and practical long-lease security. It will suit a first-time buyer or investor who values light, space and location but is comfortable with the building’s heating type and the stated service charge.
