A light and stylishly presented ground floor retirement apartment offered with early vacant possession.<br/><br/> THE PROPERTY:<br/><br/>A smart ground floor apartment in a purpose-built block for those who enjoy an active retirement but appreciate the reassurance of a 24 hour security system and a dedicated House Manager. <br/><br/>The distinctively shaped hall has a generous and very useful store area. <br/><br/>The light living room has the rare benefit of opening onto adjacent terrace. The neat modern kitchen has an integrated hob and oven as well as separate 'fridge. This too has a window (many comparable apartments in this development have ‘blind’ kitchens – without a source of direct natural light at all). The shower room is fully tiled with discreet grab rails and is adjacent to a double bedroom that has a commodious built-in wardrobe. <br/><br/>In addition to being fully double glazed, there is modern electric heating, good decor and quality floor coverings throughout making this a most comfortable home. Residents also have access to well-tended communal gardens, a guest suite (to avoid the need for a second bedroom that stands empty most of the time), onsite parking available on a first come basis (with thoughtful touches like buggy recharging points), security entry system, intruder alarm, and laundry room. The residents' function room provides a focal point to a thriving and friendly social community with well attended activities. There is also a lift service to all floors. <br/><br/>Residents need to be 60+ or if a couple, one resident needs to be at least 60 and the other 55+ years old <br/><br/>TENURE – Leasehold with the benefit of the remainder of a 125-year lease granted 1 July 2007<br/>Outgoings: (March 2026) service charge £2972.24 per annum and ground rent of £425.00 per annum <br/>West Oxfordshire District Council (Band C).<br/><br/> <br/>West Oxfordshire District Council (Band C).<br/><br/>SITUATION:<br/><br/>Otters Court is an a well thought of residential area just north of the town centre. It is well placed for the A40 (access to Oxford & Cheltenham) as well as local amenities that include shops and playing fields. Witney itself is a thriving market town on the edge of the Cotswolds about 10 miles to the West of the dreaming spires of Oxford. Its location on the banks of the River Windrush led to the manufacture of quality blankets known the world over until the last mill was closed in 2002. Some manufacturing remains and the town is home to Christy & Co - hat makers since 1773 to people as diverse as the Royal family to Don Corleone in the Godfather films! Much of the town's fine architecture reflects the wealth of the woollen trade in its heyday. The rich variety of shops, street cafes, and excellent sporting facilities coupled with higher order services that include a hospital greatly add to the quality of life.<br/><br/>A mainline rail service to Oxford and London Paddington is available from Long Hanborough about 6 miles away with journey times of 9 and 70 minutes respectively.<br/><br/>We are required by law to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all those selling or buying a property. 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.
