Light-filled two-bedroom flat with parking and long lease in central North Oxford.
Two bedrooms with bright reception room and private balcony
Situated on the second floor of a noted Brutalist development in North Oxford, this bright two-bedroom apartment offers practical city living with genuine convenience. The reception room is a standout feature, with floor-to-ceiling windows, wood flooring and a private balcony that bring light and outdoor access to daily life. The adjoining kitchen and fully-tiled shower room keep the layout efficient for first-time buyers or couples.
Practical benefits include a long share-of-freehold lease (over 950 years), resident off-street parking and well-kept communal gardens. The location is a major draw: within walking distance of Summertown, North Parade and the city centre, with excellent public transport links and quick access to the A40/A34.
Be clear about running costs and maintenance: heating is electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, the EPC is rated D, and the property sits in a concrete, 1967–75 building style that may not suit every taste. There is an annual service charge of about £2,100. The apartment’s size (approximately 676 sq ft) is average but well laid out for comfortable living.
This home suits a first-time buyer or a compact household seeking a light-filled, centrally located flat with long lease security and communal amenities. It also offers straightforward renovation potential if you want to modernise heating or improve energy performance over time.
