Summary - GUARDIAN COURT FLAT 20 DUKE STREET BANBURY OX16 4NL
2 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Compact, low-maintenance flat ideal for a retiree wanting town-centre convenience.
Two double bedrooms and living/diner, recently renovated
This recently renovated two-bedroom retirement apartment sits in the centre of Banbury, a short walk to shops, services and transport links. At about 527 sq ft it’s a compact, low-maintenance home with a living/dining room, fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom — designed for convenience rather than large-scale entertaining.
Practical features include allocated off-street parking, double glazing and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. Electric storage heaters and mains electricity make services straightforward, and council tax is described as cheap, keeping ongoing costs predictable for a fixed-income household.
Important lease information affects suitability: the flat has around 65–67 years remaining on the lease. That level of term is likely to prevent some mortgage lenders approving loans, so buyers should check financing options or consider cash purchase. The area is noted as very deprived with above-average crime — sensible security and neighbourhood checks are recommended.
For a retired buyer seeking a central, move-in-ready property with low maintenance and local amenities on the doorstep, this apartment offers immediate practicality. However, the short lease and local area indicators are material factors that must be weighed before proceeding.
