This property is a one-bedroom retirement apartment located in Headington, Oxford. The apartment is situated within Emden House, and the provided images show a relatively simple interior. The apartment appears clean and well-maintained, but the overall finish is dated. The kitchen and bathroom appear functional but in need of some modernisation. The property includes access to communal gardens, a positive feature. The lack of plot size information suggests the property is unlikely to have a private garden.

Headington is a residential area of Oxford, with Barton Lane being a relatively quiet street. The proximity to several well-regarded primary schools (Barton Park Primary School, St Andrew’s Church of England Primary School, Windmill Primary School, and Headington Quarry Foundation Stage School) is a considerable advantage for families, although this property is marketed as a retirement apartment. Oxford city centre is within reasonable commuting distance, and several railway stations are also accessible.

Considering comparable properties in the area, the list price of £215,000 appears to be at the lower end of the market for Headington. However, the lack of information on the size of comparable properties and the specific square footage of this apartment makes a precise price comparison difficult. The property’s age and dated appearance are likely factors contributing to the lower price point. The lack of a private garden will likely also affect the perceived value.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
