A recently refurbished top-floor maisonette arranged over two levels, currently let and offered as an investment opportunity. The flat has a large entrance porch, a living room, modern kitchen-diner, two double bedrooms, one single bedroom and a bathroom — all within a compact 886 sq ft layout. The long lease (996 years) and low ground rent (£100 p.a.) reduce ownership costs and simplify long-term planning.
The location is a key strength: central Bicester position close to shops, pubs and leisure facilities, with Bicester Village retail park nearby. Rail connections are excellent — frequent services to London Marylebone (around 50 minutes) and Oxford (circa 15 minutes) — and road links to the A40/M40/A41 are straightforward, supporting both commuter and short-term rental demand.
Practical points for buyers: the property sits above a hair salon, which may bring occasional commercial noise and activity. Buildings insurance contribution noted at approximately £150 p.a. and the flat is reached via internal stairs (no lift). Walls are recorded as cavity construction with assumed no added insulation. Council Tax Band B is relatively cheap and there is no local flooding risk reported.
Overall this maisonette will suit investors seeking a low-maintenance, centrally located rental unit with immediate income, or buyers wanting a newly renovated home with excellent transport links. Be aware of the single bathroom, top-floor access, and mixed-use building context when matching to tenants or future occupiers.
