Summary - 13 Sweet Briar, Marcham OX13 6PD
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Accessible over-55 flat with communal gardens and parking near village amenities.
Two double bedrooms with built-in storage
A purpose-built over-55 apartment set on the first floor of a well-kept terrace in Marcham, offering low-maintenance communal living close to a village shop and bus stop. The open-plan living/kitchen creates a spacious principal room, while two double bedrooms and built-in storage make the flat practical for downsizers seeking single-level convenience within a small community.
The scheme includes communal gardens and resident parking, and the location provides easy access to the A34 and nearby Abingdon amenities. Heating is via electric storage heaters, which suit occasional occupation but can carry higher running costs than gas alternatives. The building dates from the late 1980s and presents a straightforward, modern interior typical of retirement developments of that era.
Important practical notes: the lease has approximately 61 years remaining and many mortgage lenders can be reluctant to lend on shorter leases. The property is offered leasehold with an average annual service charge of £1,822.68. Prospective buyers should have lease length, service charge and any lender requirements checked by their solicitor before proceeding.
This apartment will suit buyers looking to downsize to a small, accessible home with communal support and nearby village amenities. It may also appeal to those wanting a low-maintenance base close to Abingdon, provided they are comfortable with leasehold tenure and electric heating.
