This one-bedroom ground-floor apartment in Betjeman Court is designed for retirement living with practical, low-maintenance accommodation. The living/dining room is generous for a one-bed (approx. 20'5" x 10'9"), and the property includes a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and a walk-in shower room. Occupiers benefit from a residents' house manager, communal lounge, laundry facilities and an outside communal patio.
The development sits close to Wantage town centre, giving easy access to shops, cafés, healthcare and regular local services. Off-street communal parking is available and the area has excellent mobile and broadband connectivity. The flat is part of a relatively recent build (2003–2006) and has double glazing and cavity wall insulation.
Notable practical points: the property is leasehold (approx. 105 years remaining) with an annual ground rent of £395 and potential additional fees for leasehold administration. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more costly than gas alternatives and are worth factoring into ongoing running costs. The kitchen is compact and the layout suits a single occupant or couple rather than a family.
This apartment will suit buyers seeking a manageable, well-serviced retirement base near Wantage town centre, or investors targeting the retirement housing market. Prospective purchasers should verify service installations and commission any surveys; leasehold documentation and additional fees should be checked before offer.
