Elmhurst Way, Shilton Park, Carterton, Oxfordshire, OX18

A great first time or investment purchase, this neat two bedroom home ahs a garage with pedestrian door to garden and is offered with immediate vacant possession.

THE PROPERTY:

Nestled in a charming tree-lined road, this attractive mellow reconstituted Cotswold stone property presents an exceptional opportunity for first-time buyers stepping onto the property ladder or investors seeking immediate returns. With vacant possession and a realistic rental potential of £1,250 per calendar month, this home offers an attractive gross yield of 5.6% for those with an investment mindset.

The well-appointed accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance hall featuring practical laminate flooring and a deep storage cupboard. This same quality flooring continues through to the generously proportioned living room, which occupies the rear of the property and boasts patio doors opening directly onto the garden—creating a wonderful sense of inside-outside living that first-time buyers will appreciate.

The kitchen is fitted with modern wood-fronted cabinets complemented by an integrated gas hob and electric oven. For added convenience, both the washing machine and fridge freezer will be included in the sale—a significant bonus for those purchasing their first home.

Upstairs accommodates two comfortable double bedrooms, served by a family bathroom positioned between them. The bathroom features a classic white suite with mosaic tiled splashbacks and a shower above the bath.

The property benefits from economic gas central heating and sealed unit double glazing throughout, ensuring excellent energy efficiency and manageable utility bills.

A particular advantage is the garage located at the foot of the garden. With driveway parking to the front and a convenient rear pedestrian door opening directly into the garden, this arrangement significantly enhances the property's practicality and appeal. In common with many modern developments, the garage sits beneath a coach house and is therefore held on the remainder of a separate 999-year lease with no ground rent or maintenance charge—avoiding the complications of a 'flying freehold'.

Whether you're taking your first step onto the property ladder or expanding your investment portfolio, this ready-to-move-in home represents outstanding value.

SITUATION:

The sought-after Shilton Park development to the northeast of the town is well placed for the A40 linking the dreaming spires of Oxford to the attractions of Cheltenham.

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.
