Summary - Flat 12 Hometree House, London Road, BICESTER OX26 6BP
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free one-bedroom retirement flat overlooking communal gardens, central Bicester.
One-bedroom first-floor retirement apartment with lift access
A purpose-built, one-bedroom first-floor apartment in Hometree House, designed for residents aged 60 and over. Set back from London Road and overlooking well-kept communal gardens, the flat sits at the end of a quiet corridor and benefits from lift access, communal facilities and a pleasant outlook. The accommodation includes an entrance hall, sitting room with kitchenette, double bedroom and bathroom — all arranged within about 410 sq ft.
This apartment is chain-free and centrally located in Bicester, close to shops, services and the town’s rail links. Parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis and the building has mains drainage and electricity. The property is double-glazed (installed before 2002) and has an EPC rating of C. Heating is via electric storage heaters, and broadband availability is standard to superfast in the area.
Important practical points: the lease has 60 years remaining, which may make mortgage lending difficult or unavailable to many buyers. The annual service charge is £2,933.64 and ground rent £420.24; buyers should factor ongoing charges into affordability. The building was constructed in 1986 and while the flat is presented well, it is small and best suited to downsizers or those seeking a manageable, low-maintenance home rather than larger households.
This property will suit an over-60s buyer wanting a central, low-upkeep base within walking distance of Bicester’s amenities. Viewings are recommended for those who understand the lease length and service-charge commitments and who are looking for a quietly located retirement apartment with communal gardens and lift access.
