A bright, second-floor retirement apartment in Mill Stream Court, offered chain-free and designed for over-55s. The two double bedrooms and well-presented living space provide comfortable, low-maintenance accommodation with lift access and communal gardens overlooking the River Ock. Residents benefit from a staffed on-site manageress, an active resident lounge with regular entertainment and a terrace for outdoor sitting.
Practical points include a 98-year lease, an EPC rating of C and electric storage heating. Service charge and ground rent are notable: approximately £4,735 per year service charge and £643 per year ground rent. Broadband speeds in the area are reported slow and the property relies on electric heating rather than gas.
The setting is a short walk from Abingdon town centre with shops, pubs, markets and good transport links, making it convenient for everyday errands and social life. The gardens and riverside aspect are genuine positives for relaxation and light outdoor use.
Buyers should be aware of a high local flooding risk and average crime figures; insurance and flood-protection considerations may be necessary. The apartment is best suited to downsizers or retirees seeking a sociable community with on-site support rather than buyers seeking rural seclusion or high-speed broadband connectivity.
