This modern one-bedroom ground-floor apartment, built in 2018, offers a compact, move-in-ready home for a first-time buyer or investor. The open-plan lounge and fitted kitchen create a light, efficient living space, while an own rear garden and allocated off-street parking are hard-to-find extras for a flat. The property is offered with no onward chain.
Practical running costs are favourable: mains gas central heating, double glazing, a long 995-year lease and a below-average service charge (£598). At about 510 sq ft, the layout suits single occupancy or couples seeking a low-maintenance base with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Location is convenient — Aldi and local shops are within walking distance, with reliable bus links to Oxford and Didcot and easy access to the A34/M40. Schools in the area include several rated Good, making the neighbourhood suitable for future family planning or strong rental demand.
Buyers should note a materially higher local crime level, which may affect personal security and insurance costs. The property is leasehold; prospective purchasers should confirm service charge details and any future estate management arrangements.
