A bright ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment with a private patio and communal gardens, ideal for an over-60s buyer who wants easy single-floor living and outdoor space. The apartment is pet friendly and benefits from a House Manager, 24-hour emergency call system and communal facilities including a lounge, laundry room and scooter store for added convenience.
The layout is traditional with a spacious living room, double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, separate kitchen and bathroom with shower over bath. EPC C suggests reasonable energy performance, but main heating is by electric room heaters — worth considering for running costs if replacing central heating is desired. The building is modern (constructed 2007–2011) with double glazing already installed.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with 110 years remaining, service charges reported at approximately £3,300 per year and ground rent around £1,000 per year. Parking is available off-street on a first-come, first-served basis and the apartment is offered chain-free, making for a straightforward move-in.
This home sits in a well-served area of Banbury with low local crime, nearby amenities and several schools close by. It suits buyers seeking a secure, sociable retirement setting with outside space and management support — but budget for the annual service charge, ground rent and potentially higher electric heating costs.
