Full Details for 1 Bedroom Retirement Property for sale in Oxford, OX3 :

Enjoy your retirement in this picturesque yet central location in Old Headington, where we have for sale a bright and pleasant leasehold Studio Apartment within Emden House, for people aged 60 and over. Emden House is situated just off Barton Lane, which winds its way around the edge of Old Headington, an old Oxfordshire village that now survives within the city of Oxford, just a short stroll through to the bustling High Street and range of shops and amenities in Headington itself.

Flat 12 Emden House is being sold as a vacant property with no onward chain, so you really can move straight in and feel like home. The décor is plain and neutral, and ready for a new owner to place their own stamp on it.

This is a Studio apartment, which means that the Living Room and Bedroom area is combined within one room; nevertheless, this is a bright and spacious room, with a very definite sense of a distinct Bedroom area separate from the Living area, as the room is somewhat of an ‘L’ shape. In fact, the previous owner used to define the two with a curtain that could be pulled across to separate them, and this can be provided by the sellers if desired. From the Living Room area there is then a door into the fitted kitchen.

The bathroom offers a full bathroom suite, but other owners here have converted these rooms to Shower Rooms, so this is an option for any new owner should a shower be preferred to a bath tub.

Elsewhere in the development there is a communal Living Room, Dining Room and a small Library. There is also a Laundry Room and a Lunch Service available, this latter being served in the communal Dining Room, and both subject to extra fees should one wish to use them. Outside, there are pleasant and well maintained communal gardens, and parking for residents and visitors on site. There is also the possibility to apply for a space in the communal garage.

Old Headington, where the property is located, feels like a discovery when you come across it – a village of stone and brick houses with a medieval parish church that survives as a little island within the wider Headington area, a popular Oxford suburb offering a range of shops and commercial services, including a good sized Co-op and Waitrose, as well as a number of cafes, restaurants and a local pub or two. The location of Emden House therefore enjoys the privileged position of being set within an area that has a traditional village feel, yet with all modern conveniences and transport links essentially right on its doorstep. It is also close to all of Oxford’s main hospitals.
