Ready-to-move-in one-bedroom in a popular over-55 development, chain free.
Lift access to all floors for easy mobility
A comfortable, newly renovated one-bedroom apartment on the first floor of a well-kept retirement development, offered with vacant possession and no onward chain. The living room faces south over the communal gardens, and the flat benefits from a newly fitted kitchen and shower room, built-in bedroom wardrobes and lift access to all floors — practical features for downsizers seeking low-maintenance living.
Cygnet Court provides communal amenities aimed at over-55s: a large residents’ lounge, laundry room and attractive shared gardens. The building has off-street resident parking and ultrafast broadband, and the location is a short walk from Abingdon town centre, local amenities and riverside walks — convenient for daily errands and social life.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with 88 years remaining, an annual service charge of around £2,800 and ground rent of £498.32. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more costly than gas heating. The grounds have a history of flooding, though the flat itself is on the first floor and is not deemed directly at risk.
This apartment will suit an over-55 buyer wanting a ready-to-move-into home in a friendly development, prioritising communal facilities and proximity to town. Factor in the lease length, ongoing service charges and electric heating costs when assessing long-term affordability.
