Distinctive Brutalist-style purpose-built block in central North Oxford location
Set just north of Oxford city centre in sought-after central North Oxford, this well-laid-out two-bedroom second-floor apartment offers bright open-plan living with a large 20ft balcony and full-height windows. The modern kitchen and wooden floors give a contemporary feel while the building’s distinctive concrete architecture adds character. Residents benefit from maintained communal lawns with mature trees and an allocated off-street parking space.
Practical details are clear: the property is a share of freehold with 81 years remaining on the lease, a service charge averaging £1,818 per year, and will be sold at auction. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the building has double glazing (installation date unknown) — factors to consider for running costs and future refurbishment planning.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-located, low-crime, culturally vibrant neighbourhood with excellent transport links — just 0.5 miles from St Giles and close to bus routes and cycle access to university departments. The nearby mix of independent and state schools, plus Summertown amenities, add long-term appeal.
While well presented, the property’s remaining lease length, reliance on electric heating and service charge are material considerations. Buyers seeking long-term security or lower running costs should factor in potential lease extension costs and a heating upgrade when assessing value.
