Summary - 40 VERNON PLACE ABINGDON OX14 1RU
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Immaculate ground-floor one-bed with garden, parking and a long lease — no onward chain.
One double bedroom with modern bathroom and fitted kitchen
Ground-floor apartment with private rear garden and garden shed
Allocated off-street parking included
Long lease (995 years) — predictable tenure
Below-average service charge (£598) and cheap council tax
Very high local crime rate — check insurance and safety measures
Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, no flood risk
Convenient transport links to Oxford, Didcot and major roads
This modern ground-floor one-bedroom apartment, built in 2018, offers an efficient open-plan layout and its own private rear garden. The living room flows to a fully fitted kitchen with integrated appliances; the double bedroom and bathroom complete a straightforward, low-maintenance home of about 510 sq ft. Off-street allocated parking adds everyday convenience.
Practical running costs are favourable: mains gas central heating, a long lease (995 years) and a below-average service charge (£598) help keep ongoing costs predictable. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and there is no flooding risk. Local amenities, an Aldi, bus links to Oxford and Didcot, and easy access to the A34/M40 make commuting and shopping simple.
Notable negatives are factual: the property is leasehold and in an area recorded with very high crime rates — prospective buyers should check local crime data and insurance implications. The apartment is average-sized and built to modern standards, so buyers seeking period character will not find it here.
Offered with no onward chain, this is a practical choice for a first-time buyer or investor wanting a ready-to-go rental or starter home in an affluent neighbourhood with good schools nearby.
