Set in an attractive courtyard development on the village edge, this three-double-bedroom leasehold home suits buyers aged 55+ seeking low-maintenance, sociable living with countryside views. The layout gives flexible, generous rooms: a large sitting room opening to a dining room, a conservatory at the rear, and a refitted kitchen with an adjoining utility. Practical features include wide doors, waist-height switches and an on-site Courtyard Manager for day-to-day support and emergency call handling.
Outside, residents benefit from well-tended communal gardens, a paddock, allotments, a pitch-and-putt area, and a private rear patio — ideal for summer seating and easy outdoor access. An allocated garage is provided on the block. Recent upgrades include modern energy-efficient electric radiators and double glazing, though the heating is fully electric so running costs can be higher in winter.
This is a leasehold property with 117 years remaining and an annual service charge of £7,452 (paid quarterly). Service charge covers grounds and building maintenance plus communal services; buyers should budget for this and for a relatively high council tax band. The property is age-restricted (55+) and designed for accessibility, but it is multi-storey with a straight staircase to the bedrooms.
Local amenities are within easy reach in Stanford in the Vale and nearby market towns, with good road links to Oxford and Swindon and rail access at Didcot. The setting suits those who want a peaceful village community, countryside walks on the doorstep, and on-site support without the responsibility of large private grounds.
