Woodford Way, Witney, Oxfordshire, OX28

A superb opportunity for first-time buyers and those seeking a genuine lock-up-and-leave home, this beautifully presented two-bedroom first-floor apartment forms part of the popular Woodford Mill development in the heart of Witney, a stylish conversion and new-build scheme built around the town's historic wool and blanket-making heritage.

THE PROPERTY:

Set within an attractive stone-elevated building just off Woodford Way, the apartment occupies a first floor position. Inside, the accommodation has been thoughtfully laid out to make the most of every inch, with an entrance hallway leading through to a generous open-plan kitchen and living area spanning over 25 feet in length. The kitchen is fitted with sleek white gloss units beneath dark contrasting worktops, along with an integrated oven, hob and space for further appliances including a washing machine, making it as practical as it is stylish. This sociable open-plan space provides plenty of room for both relaxing and entertaining, and flows naturally from the modern kitchen into the living area.

There are two well-proportioned bedrooms, both benefitting from the same characterful eaves windows found throughout the apartment, along with a stylish family bathroom fitted with a contemporary white suite and part-tiled walls. Practical storage has also been cleverly built into the layout, ideal for keeping the home clutter-free.

In total the apartment offers approximately 51.4 sq m (552 sq ft) of well-planned living space, and comes with the added benefit of one allocated parking space, a real premium in this central location.

Energy efficiency is another strong selling point, with the property boasting a current EPC rating of B (81), meaning lower running costs and a more comfortable home year-round, a genuinely attractive feature for buyers keeping a close eye on bills.

The apartment is offered leasehold, with approximately 105 years remaining on the lease and a ground rent of £300 per annum. The service charge is currently £1,400 per year, though buyers should note this is reconciled annually against actual expenditure and can therefore vary from year to year; it covers buildings insurance among other communal costs, and in some years the charge for the second half-year has been minimal or waived altogether where expenditure has been lower than budgeted.

Tax band C: £228 est per annum

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.

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.
