Set in the heart of historic Abingdon, this well-presented two-bedroom flat blends genuine period charm with practical, low-maintenance city-centre living. The apartment sits within a Grade II listed Georgian building and retains sash windows, original fireplaces and high ceilings in parts, giving rooms character and light. At about 877 sq ft the layout is comfortable: two double bedrooms, an en-suite to the main bedroom, a separate kitchen and a good-sized lounge.
The long lease (approximately 981 years remaining from a 999‑year term) offers security comparable with freehold ownership while keeping running costs modest; council tax is reported as cheap and flood risk is low. The central location places shops, cafés, transport links and a wide range of amenities on your doorstep — convenient for professionals, first‑time buyers and investors seeking rental demand.
Important practical points: the building’s Grade II listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance or improvement works. The local area reports a higher crime level than average, so buyers should consider security and insurance costs. Despite the period charm, some rooms have standard-to-lower ceiling heights and the apartment, while well presented, may benefit from modernising to suit personal taste.
Overall this is a characterful, centrally located leasehold flat with long-term tenure and clear potential for those who appreciate period features and town-centre convenience. It suits buyers who prioritise location and character and who are mindful of listed‑building responsibilities and local area considerations.
