Wessex Way Bicester A one bedroom assisted living retirement apartment benefitting from 24 hour on-site staffing and a subsidised restaurant
Property Oracle says ..
This one-bedroom assisted living apartment in Bicester, Oxfordshire, is listed at £75,000. The property is situated in Saxon Court, an assisted living development on Wessex Way. The apartment itself appears clean and well-maintained, although the photos reveal somewhat dated interior fixtures and fittings. The apartment benefits from communal garden space, which is a welcome feature, though it lacks a private garden. The location in Bicester offers convenience, with good transport links and schools within a reasonable distance. Bicester North and Bicester Village train stations are relatively nearby, providing access to major transport routes. The presence of several schools in the vicinity, including those with good Ofsted ratings, adds to the location’s family-friendliness. However, the target market for this property is likely to be limited to those who seek assisted living options. The price appears somewhat competitive considering other similar properties in the immediate vicinity, showing a range of price points, with this particular apartment at the lower end. This is in line with its smaller size, age, and lack of private external space. Potential buyers should factor in the potential costs of future renovation or upgrading to personalise the space, and its specific appeal as an assisted living property.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
