Top-floor, one-bedroom apartment on the edge of East Oxford, offering bright rooms, a walk-out balcony and an allocated parking space. The layout includes a generous entrance hall, sitting/dining room with large store room, kitchen/breakfast room, double bedroom and bathroom. The property is chain free and set within easy reach of the ring road, science and business parks.
The flat needs cosmetic updating and some renovation, presenting clear potential to add value for a cash buyer or investor prepared to carry works. Note the heating is electric room heaters and broadband speeds are reported as slow, so immediate upgrades may be needed for full rental or owner-occupier comfort.
A significant practical constraint is the lease length (around 78–79 years remaining). Mortgage lenders commonly restrict lending on shorter leases, so this will suit cash purchasers or buyers able to arrange specialist financing or a lease extension. Service charge is around £147.32 pcm (approximately £1,767.84 annually); ground rent is to be confirmed.
Practical perks include allocated off-street parking, visitor spaces, a communal garden and good local transport links into central Oxford and Headington. The area is close to local schools, Horspath recreation ground and Shotover Country Park, making the location convenient despite some local crime statistics being above average.
