With the rare advantages of private outdoor space and over 950 years remaining on the lease, this beautifully appointed ground floor apartment is both an affordable alternative to bungalow living and an ideal first-time purchase!<br/><br/> THE PROPERTY:<br/><br/>A well-proportioned apartment with some architectural flair, offered with an exceptionally long lease and thoughtfully updated throughout to a standard that rewards close inspection.<br/><br/>The entrance hall, complete with useful storage, reflects the more generous room sizes of an earlier era of construction. The kitchen has been refitted in a clean contemporary manner, complementing a stylishly appointed shower room. Two well-sized bedrooms complete the private accommodation.<br/><br/>The sitting room is, in many respects, the heart of the apartment. Oriented to the south and benefitting from windows on two elevations, it receives natural light throughout the day — a quality that is genuinely difficult to overstate in a ground-floor flat. French windows open directly onto the beautifully kept communal gardens, creating an easy relationship between inside and out that few apartments of this type can offer. A series of distinctive archways lend the room architectural individuality.<br/><br/>The private wrap around outdoor space is normally associated with houses and bungalows. The gates are only for window cleaning access and there is no right of way for neighbours to cross this area.<br/><br/>The sizable gardens themselves are well-tended with beautifully nature specimen trees and speak to a development that has been carefully maintained over time. An allocated parking space (bay 35) and additional guest parking add to the practical appeal, whilst sealed-unit double glazing and electric heating ensure the property requires the minimum of maintenance.<br/><br/>Discerning buyers will value the day-to-day convenience of a Tesco Express and a 24-hour gym both within easy reach. This is a property that offers considered, comfortable living at a genuinely accessible price point, and one that merits a visit from those who value substance over show. Viewings are available by appointment.<br/><br/>Tenure:- Leasehold. Remainder of 999 year lease granted 1 June 1990. Most recent annual maintenance charge - £1,116.<br/>West Oxfordshire Tax Band C<br/><br/>SITUATION:<br/><br/>Witney is the largest of the market towns in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds, positioned on the River Windrush some twelve miles west of Oxford and eight miles east of Burford along the A40.

Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks and any ongoing monitoring are carried out correctly, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Lifetime Legal who will contact you once you have agreed to instruct us in your sale or had an offer accepted on a property you wish to buy. The cost of these checks is £75 (incl. VAT), which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid by you in advance of us publishing your property (in the case of a vendor) or issuing a memorandum of sale (in the case of a buyer), directly to Lifetime Legal, and is non-refundable. We will receive some of the fee taken by Lifetime Legal to compensate for its role in the provision of these checks.
