2 bedroom penthouse for sale

THE PROPERTY:

This exceptional home offers many of the features of a traditional house with the convenience and security of an apartment! Positioned in a very central, yet remarkably tranquil location, restaurants, cinemas and the Marks & Spencer food hall are all within a few minutes’ walk as is good public transport into Oxford.

Its refreshingly different 'upside down' design is a far cry from being a modern box and the apartment benefits from a small private deck area that opens directly onto the sheltered roof top terrace.

On the upper floor a light living area has a Juliette balcony with a sleek modern kitchen with integrated appliance to one side. In addition to and ensuite shower room off the larger of the two double bedrooms, there is a family bathroom and separate cloakroom.

The secure parking is on this side of the development, meaning it is possible to get to and from your car without being subjected to the elements and will be spared needing to scrape ice and snow off it in the winter!

The larger of the double bedrooms benefits from an ensuite shower room. There is a family bathroom on the bedroom floor and a cloakroom on the reception level.

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 £60 (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.
