The Garden Quarter, Bicester

Seller's comments...

Having moved to the Garden Quarter from one of the cramped new-build estates, we loved the sense of space and calm in the development, and the beautifully maintained gardens and park areas. The sensitive way the buildings have been renovated from their previous lives as an RAF base is fascinating, and we love walking around the site and trying to guess what they were before they became these stunning homes.
We enjoy the short walk to the Sky Wave gin bar, over the road at Bicester Heritage, for a Friday evening G&T, and a look at the exotic cars.
With friends and family in Windsor and Warwick, the easy access to the M40 and excellent train links makes catching up with them so straightforward, not to mention popping into Oxford for the museums and architecture. We're also spoiled for choice when shopping, with Bicester Village so close by.
Having the separate office space has made working from home so easy and efficient - the sound insulation is so good, one of us can be watching TV in one room, and the other doing video calls in the office, with no background noise.
The open plan living space is wonderful, we have hosted tapas and cocktail parties, Christmases and other evenings, there's so much room, you never feel cramped in a corner.
We are sad to be leaving, but starting a family means we'll need more bedrooms. We'll miss living here so much, after nearly four years, but wish the new owners as much enjoyment as we have had.

This well-presented one-bedroom ground floor apartment offers impressive ceiling heights, open-plan living and comes with gas central heating.

Set within The Garden Quarter - a former RAF base - the development spans around 23 acres of beautifully maintained grounds, now transformed into an elegant collection of Art Deco–inspired homes and apartments.

The apartment opens into a welcoming entrance hall, where you’ll find a guest WC, along with a generous storage cupboard ideal for coats and shoes and incorporating plumbing for a washing machine. From here, the space flows into a stylish open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, finished with oak-effect flooring, double-height ceilings, and large windows that flood the room with natural light, creating a real sense of scale and openness. The kitchen is well-equipped with integrated appliances and ample storage.

In truth, the proportions of this living space are more commonly associated with a two-bedroom apartment, making it particularly appealing.

Leading off the main living area, a lobby provides access to the bedroom suite, which comprises a spacious double bedroom with the same striking ceiling height and windows, a modern bathroom, and a walk-in dressing room.

The apartment benefits from a long lease of approximately 175 years remaining (from 2012) and includes an allocated parking space, completing what is a truly impressive home.
