Summary - St. Mary's, Wantage, OX12 OX12 8FA
1 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Spacious one-bedroom near Wantage centre with garden and parking.
25% shared ownership — 25% share priced at £47,500
A spacious one-bedroom maisonette in Wantage offered as a 25% shared ownership opportunity — ideal for a first-time buyer seeking character close to town. The property occupies roughly 690 sq ft with high ceilings, exposed timber beams and generous room proportions that give a real sense of space. Outside there is a small courtyard garden and allocated off-street parking right outside the entrance.
Practical aspects are clear: secondary glazing, electric storage heaters, and solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) keep running costs and retrofit needs front of mind. The EPC is band E (54) and heating runs on electricity. Service charge and rent combine to a monthly outlay of £618.60 (annual service charge c. £7,423), and council tax sits in band C (approx. £2,184). The property is close to Wantage town centre, local amenities, good schools and commuter routes to the A34 and Didcot Parkway.
Important caution: the lease has 83 years remaining. That is relatively short for a leasehold and will need prompt attention and budgeting for renewal or staircasing if you plan to buy the freehold or increase your share. The property also shows scope for modernization (insulation, heating upgrade, and EPC improvement) which presents both cost and opportunity for adding value.
Overall this maisonette suits a buyer looking for an affordable entry into the area with character and central convenience, willing to manage leasehold complexities and carry out energy-efficiency improvements to reduce future running costs.
