Set within the older, characterful part of Hometree House, this two-bedroom first-floor flat is designed for over-60s who want a central, low-maintenance base. The living room is bright with town outlooks and the building offers communal sitting and dining rooms plus pretty gardens for pleasant outdoor space. The flat is approached by a lift and a short flight of stairs.
Practical features include electric heating, mains services, and off-street parking on a first-come, first-served basis. Its location is highly walkable to Bicester town centre and local stations, making everyday errands and rail links straightforward. No onward chain makes for a quicker move if you can proceed without mortgage delay.
Buyers should note material factors affecting purchase and future costs. The lease has 60 years remaining — lenders may refuse mortgages and this will limit mortgage options. Service charge and ground rent are relatively high for the size of the property, and the EPC rating is F. The building dates from 1986 and may contain legacy materials like asbestos in some elements; specialist advice is recommended before any works.
This apartment will suit an active over-60 buyer seeking convenience, community facilities and manageable living in the town centre, or a cash buyer comfortable managing lease and service-charge implications. Viewing is recommended to assess space, condition and the communal amenities in person.
