A compact one-bedroom apartment in a converted ecclesiastical-style building close to Abingdon town centre. The upper-floor property is light-filled thanks to multiple windows and roof lights, and benefits from integrated appliances and electric underfloor heating for an energy-efficient feel. Presented neutrally and currently tenanted with a market rental around £1,000 pcm, it offers immediate income potential for investors or an affordable first step on the ladder.
Practical points stand out: the flat is small (384 sq ft) and accessed by stairs to the top floor, so it suits buyers who prioritise location and low maintenance over expansive living space. The long lease (119 years from April 2025) gives security, but the tenure remains leasehold. Main heating and services are electric, with unspecified tariff.
Location is a strength — central Abingdon amenities, fast broadband and several well-regarded schools are within easy reach. Note the local crime statistic is high; buyers should consider personal security and insurance costs. There is no onward chain, so completion can be straightforward for a buyer ready to move or let.
Overall this apartment works best for first-time buyers seeking an affordable city-centre base or investors wanting immediate rental income and low-running maintenance. The compact layout limits expansion but keeps running costs manageable; refurbishment could increase rental value or resale appeal over time.
