Orchard Walk, Bicester, OX27 8BB

SHARED OWNERSHIP (Advertised price represents 45% share. Full market value £345,000). A great chance to buy a shared-ownership house which has been designed, from the outset, to keep utility costs to a minimum. This smartly-presented property forms one end of a short terrace and is part of a modern development in the village of Caversfield, just to the north of Bicester. Exacting standards of insulation, high-performance glazing, roof-mounted solar panels and a communal heating/hot water scheme are just some of the measures that have helped to achieve an exceptional energy-efficiency rating. Internally, the house is of conventional layout with a spacious kitchen/dining room, an under-stairs cloakroom/WC and the reception room on the ground floor. On the first floor are two similar-sized bedrooms and a sleek, naturally-lit bathroom. The property has a south-west-facing rear garden, with patio, lawn and timber shed, and comes with parking for two cars. Bicester town centre, the well-known Bicester Village shopping destination and both Bicester railway stations can also be easily reached by bike. The three nearest primary schools are all Ofsted-rated 'Good'.
