This bright ground-floor two-bedroom apartment in Summertown offers ready-to-live-in accommodation with private front and rear gardens and allocated parking in a gated development. Recently fitted with a new boiler, timber floor and full redecoration, the flat is presented in good order and comes with vacant possession and no onward chain. The long lease (999 years from 2006) and share of freehold add tenure security.
At about 663 sq ft, the layout is traditionally arranged and comfortably sized for a first home or commuter base. Oxford Parkway is within easy reach for rail links to London, and the A34/M40 connections make travel to the Cotswolds and beyond straightforward. Local cafés, shops and primary and secondary schools are all close by, making day-to-day life convenient.
Practical points to note: broadband speeds in the area are reported slow, and local crime statistics are above average — both worth considering if working from home or prioritising security. The property is newly renovated internally, but prospective buyers should check communal maintenance arrangements and any future management charges related to the gated development.
Overall, this flat is a low-hassle purchase for someone seeking a well-presented two-bedroom home in a sought-after Summertown location, especially attractive to first-time buyers or commuters wanting private outside space and secure parking.
