This top-floor maisonette has been tastefully modernised and offers practical space for a first home or buy-to-live option. The accommodation includes two generously proportioned doubles, a refitted kitchen with built-in appliances and a lounge/diner with natural light. Off-street parking and a private garden are rare extras for a flat and useful for everyday life.
The property benefits from a long 146-year lease with no ground rent or maintenance charges, and a new boiler fitted in October 2021. Local amenities at Peachcroft are within easy reach, with bus routes to Abingdon and Oxford and convenient road links via the A34. Didcot Parkway is around seven miles away for mainline rail services.
Buyers should note some practical downsides: broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow, and the building has solid brick walls with no assumed insulation, which contributes to an EPC rating of D. While the apartment is newly renovated, further insulation or energy improvements may be desirable and will affect running costs.
Overall this is a well-presented, low-maintenance flat with long lease security, off-street parking and a garden — suited to buyers prioritising location and convenience but who accept some scope for energy upgrades.
