A well-proportioned two-bedroom retirement apartment on the top floor of Eastfield Court, set in the heart of Faringdon. The bright sitting room has a feature fireplace and dual-aspect windows with glimpses of surrounding countryside. Residents benefit from lift access, a communal garden, laundry room, residents’ lounge and an active community with a visiting scheme manager.
Practical features include two double bedrooms (one with fitted wardrobes), a functional kitchen with space for appliances, a shower room and large entrance hall storage cupboards. Off-street communal parking and an emergency call system add convenience and peace of mind for older residents.
Important lease and cost information: the flat is leasehold with around 49–61 years remaining (sources vary) — this is likely to restrict mortgage availability and may cause some lenders to refuse finance. The monthly service charge is approximately £3,700 per year and covers buildings maintenance, insurance and the scheme manager. Heating is by electric storage heaters; there is double glazing but installation date is unknown.
This property is best suited to a cash buyer or a buyer able to secure specialist leasehold lending. It offers immediate, low-effort occupation with social facilities and central town location, but buyers should factor in potential financing difficulty, service charges and electric heating running costs.
