Summary - 4a, Stert Street OX14 3JP
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Characterful central flat with long lease and modest running costs.
Chain-free two-bedroom flat, about 689–692 sq ft
Set above the town’s market square, this two-bedroom period flat offers characterful living with surprisingly open outlooks across Abingdon’s high street. At just under 700 sq ft, the layout makes efficient use of space: a well-equipped modern kitchen, an inviting sitting room with a fireplace, and two double bedrooms including a master with ensuite.
Practical ownership is straightforward — long original lease (circa 981–999 years remaining), modest ground rent (£250 pa) and a below-average service charge (£284.50 pa for July 2020–21). The property is sold chain-free, which should simplify a quick purchase or let-ready handover.
Buyers should note the flat uses electric storage heating and is set above commercial shops, so consider potentially higher energy costs and some daytime street noise. The building’s solid brick construction appears to lack cavity insulation, which can affect heat retention despite an EPC rating of C. The local area is central and well served by amenities, schools and transport.
This home will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a central, character apartment with immediate rental potential or straightforward habitation. It requires no major works to be liveable, though buyers seeking the highest energy efficiency or a quiet suburban garden will need to compromise.
