Ready-to-live one-bedroom close to Banbury town centre and social facilities.
Spacious living room with garden-facing double glazed window
This first-floor, one-bedroom retirement apartment sits within a well-managed McCarthy & Stone development in Banbury, offering comfortable, low-maintenance living and communal social facilities. The living room is generous for dining and seating, and the modern fitted kitchen includes integrated appliances for immediate use. Communal benefits include a table-service restaurant, homeowners’ lounge, landscaped gardens, onsite laundry and a 24-hour staffed emergency response for reassurance.
Practical details are straightforward: the property is leasehold with 109 years remaining, double glazing and electric storage heating. Off-street parking is available by permit and communal lifts serve all floors, making access easy. Full-fibre broadband is provided, and the development is in a low-crime, affluent area close to Banbury town centre amenities and Castle Quay.
Known costs and considerations are clear: the annual service charge is substantial and covers wide-ranging communal services, and there is an annual ground rent. Heating is electric storage units rather than gas, which can affect running costs. Prospective buyers should factor these ongoing charges into affordability calculations.
For a purchaser seeking sociable retirement living with on-site support and well-kept grounds, this apartment offers a ready-to-use home with scope to personalise. It suits someone wanting communal life and convenience near town facilities rather than a rural retreat.
