This two-bedroom mid-terrace is part of an over-55s development in Faringdon, offered with no onward chain and immediate vacant possession. The flat 92-year lease and on-site emergency call system make it a straightforward retirement option, while communal gardens, residents’ parking and visitor spaces add convenience and social space. The sitting/dining room opens via a box bay to a small, secluded rear garden, and there are two shower/bath rooms for accessibility and flexibility.
Practical running costs should be considered: the property uses electric storage heating, has a ground rent of £365 pa and a management charge of about £205 pcm (covers building insurance, external upkeep, gardening, and window cleaning). The lease has 92 years remaining and the development is managed with annual reviews of the service charge. The building appears well-maintained but the house is compact (approximately 430 sq ft) and will suit buyers seeking low-maintenance, smaller accommodation rather than large family space.
Location benefits include a short walk to Faringdon town centre amenities, frequent bus links to larger rail hubs, and nearby health and leisure facilities. The community is established and quiet, with cherry blossom-fronted communal gardens. Note local crime statistics are indicated as high for the area; prospective buyers should verify local safety measures and community services.
Overall this property is best for a downsizer or retired purchaser wanting a manageable home in a small, age-restricted community with practical communal support. It offers straightforward move-in readiness but limited internal space and some ongoing service costs that affect affordability.
