This ground-floor one-bedroom conversion offers an affordable entry into Headington with a private entrance and open-plan living. The apartment has a modern fitted kitchen, shower room and double bedroom, and is being sold with no onward chain — a straightforward purchase for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
Practical details are clear: share of freehold, a 125-year term from 12/12/2003 (about 103 years remaining), gas boiler and radiators, double glazing fitted after 2002, and low council tax. The location is convenient — roughly 1 mile to central Headington and 0.6 miles to Thornhill Park & Ride — making commuting and local amenities easy to reach.
There are some material issues to note. The bedroom shows a corner damp problem that will need investigation and repair. The building’s original solid brick walls likely have no installed cavity insulation, so buyers should factor potential upgrading costs for energy efficiency. The flat is compact, so viewings are recommended to confirm space meets requirements.
Overall, this property suits buyers seeking a compact, well-located starter home or an investor after a low-entry purchase with immediate rental potential. Its chain-free status and private access are practical advantages, while modest refurbishment would improve comfort and long-term value.
