Built in 2017 and arranged on the first floor, this two-double-bedroom apartment at Linden Lodge is designed for comfortable retirement living close to Bicester town centre. The bright living room and fitted kitchen with appliances make day-to-day life easy, while Juliette balconies to the living room and master bedroom bring in light and a sense of openness. Lift access, a residents’ lounge, landscaped gardens and a guest suite support an active social life without leaving the development.
Practical details suit buyers seeking low-mobility convenience: secure communal parking, a lodge manager, 24/7 care-line monitoring and communal heating via a managed scheme. The apartment is sold chain free with a long lease (125 years from 2016, c.116 years remaining) and an EPC rating of B, reflecting efficient accommodation with modern build quality.
Costs and communal arrangements are material considerations. The current service charge is £5,532.84 per year (next review May 2026) and ground rent is £889.36 (next review November 2030); these are above-average running costs for many buyers. Heating is provided through a community scheme rather than an individual boiler, which affects control and service arrangements. Local crime levels are recorded as high for the area; prospective buyers should satisfy themselves on security and personal safety.
Overall, this apartment will suit an over-60s buyer seeking a modern, low-maintenance home centrally positioned for shops, transport and local amenities, who is comfortable with the predictable but notable communal costs and leasehold structure.
