This well-presented one-bedroom apartment in Yeats Lodge offers relaxed, low-maintenance living in a popular over-60s development close to Thame town centre. The first-floor home includes a larger-than-average sitting room plus a versatile extra reception area ideal for dining, hobbies or a home office, and a bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe. Lift access, an owners’ lounge, buggy charging and landscaped communal gardens support an active communal lifestyle.
Practical features include a 999-year lease, 24-hour Careline intercom, lodge manager on-site during office hours and off-street visitor parking. Heating is provided via a ground-source community scheme, and the apartment benefits from modern communal facilities including a guest suite for visitors. There is no onward chain, so completion can be straightforward for a buyer ready to move.
Costs and communal arrangements are material: the annual service charge averages £3,046.70 and ground rent is £575 per year (reviews every ten years). The property is leasehold and for residents aged 60+, which may limit future resale flexibility to the wider market. The apartment’s overall size (about 590 sq ft) is comfortable for one or a couple but may feel compact for those needing more space.
This apartment suits buyers seeking a secure, sociable retirement setting with easy access to local shops, healthcare and transport links in Thame. It offers freedom from garden upkeep and building management responsibilities while retaining the option to host family using the guest suite.
