Linden Lodge is a delightful development of 42 one and two bedroom retirement apartments located in the historic market town of Bicester, approximately 12 miles north east of Oxford. The historic shopping streets of Sheep Street and Market Square, boast a range of local and national retailers, together with Cafés and restaurants, while the nearby Pioneer Square is home to a large supermarket, a cinema and various other smaller outlets.

Both the Lodge and the apartment have been built and finished to the very highest standards throughout. Every detail has been considered from fitting plenty of plug sockets, TV points and illuminated light switches to the beautifully landscaped gardens, nothing has been missed. A beautiful apartment in a modern development.
