This ground-floor, two-bedroom apartment in Upper Wolvercote offers a bright, comfortable home close to Port Meadow and Summertown. A large 20ft dual-aspect sitting room fills the interior with natural light and opens onto a covered patio that overlooks communal gardens — ideal for outdoor relaxing without the upkeep of a private garden. The kitchen is fitted with modern white units and parquet-style flooring runs through the main living areas, giving a warm, cohesive feel.
Practical features include an allocated garage, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing (installed before 2002) and a long lease with share of freehold. The development is well placed for local amenities, reputable primary and secondary schools, regular bus links to Oxford city centre and the open green space of Port Meadow for walks and leisure.
Buyers should note a service charge of approximately £1,800 per year and that broadband speeds are reported as slow, which may affect home working. The building dates from the late 1960s–1970s and, while well maintained, has mid-century construction characteristics that some buyers may wish to update over time. The property is offered chain-free, presenting an easier move for many purchasers.
This apartment suits couples, small families or professionals seeking a low-maintenance home with good local schools, outdoor space nearby and convenient parking. With a long lease and share of freehold, it also appeals to buyers looking for longer-term security and potential rental income in a very affluent part of North Oxford.
