Summary - 70, St. Gabriel's OX12 8FL
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Low-maintenance town-centre apartment with parking and generous bay-window living room.
First-floor two-bedroom apartment, approx. 662 sq ft
Set on the first floor of a modern red-brick block, this two-bedroom apartment offers a roomy living space and town-centre convenience. The dual-aspect sitting room with twin bay windows feels bright and generous, while two double bedrooms and good built-in storage make the layout practical for everyday living. An allocated off-street parking space is included and communal outside space is low-maintenance.
Practical details that matter: the flat measures about 662 sq ft, has council tax band C and an EPC rating of C. Broadband and mobile signal are reported as good, and the area is low flood risk with easy road links to the A34 and nearby Didcot rail services. Local schools receive strong Ofsted ratings, and Wantage town centre is within walking distance for shops, markets and amenities.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly: the property is leasehold with around 83–88 years remaining (sources state 83 years and 88 years), an annual service charge of approximately £1,970 and ground rent of £188 per year. Heating details are inconsistent in the paperwork (mains gas boiler and radiators are listed, but an advisory note also mentions electric heating); this should be confirmed before purchase. There is no private garden and outdoor space is communal and modest.
This apartment will suit first-time purchasers or investors looking for a low-maintenance town-centre home with parking and good local amenities. It offers straightforward accommodation and potential for cosmetic updating, but budget for leasehold costs and clarify the heating specification and lease term before proceeding.
