This well-kept first-floor loft flat sits in the heart of Abingdon, steps from shops, cafes and transport links. The apartment offers a large master bedroom with built-in storage and en-suite shower, a second bedroom, and an open-plan living/dining area that benefits from generous natural light. A communal roof terrace and rare gated allocated parking add genuine town-centre convenience.
Practical details matter: the long lease (139 years) and chain-free sale simplify purchase, but heating is electric with room heaters which can increase running costs. The EPC is rated E. Service charge and ground rent figures are quoted in the paperwork (Ground Rent £150 pa; Service Charge £2,472 pa), though some information in the listing appears inconsistent — buyers should verify costs in the lease and accounts.
For first-time buyers or town-centre downsizers seeking a low-maintenance base with parking, this apartment offers immediate usability and rental potential. There is no lift (stairs to first floor) and the development dates from the 1930s–40s; the property is in good condition but energy performance and electric heating are practical issues to consider.
