This well-presented second-floor retirement apartment sits in a popular canalside development within easy walking distance of Banbury town centre and its daily amenities. The living room with bay window and a recently refitted kitchen give a fresh, comfortable feel while the double-aspect main bedroom adds light and outlook. Communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, laundry, gardens and controlled parking behind a security barrier.
The flat is compact (approx. 525 sq ft) and designed for low-maintenance living: electric storage heating, double glazing and an emergency pull-cord system are in place. The property is sold with no upward chain and has a relatively long lease remaining (about 89 years). The layout is efficient and will suit a retired couple or buyer seeking a lettable investment close to the station and town centre.
Buyers should note the material running costs: an annual service charge of around £4,119 and a ground rent of about £712. Heating is electric (no gas) which can be more costly than mains gas heating. The surrounding area records high crime and very high deprivation indices; prospective purchasers should visit to assess the locality and communal security for themselves.
Overall this is a rare two-bedroom apartment within Chamberlaine Court that offers straightforward, ready-to-move-in accommodation with communal support services, but with notable service charges and electric heating to factor into ongoing costs.
