Summary - Flat 3 Cygnet Court, Caldecott Road, ABINGDON OX14 5ET
1 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Compact, low-maintenance one-bed near Abingdon town and riverside walks.
Ground-floor apartment with direct access to communal gardens
A ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment offering direct access to well-kept communal gardens and resident parking, ideal for downsizers seeking an easy-maintenance base close to Abingdon town centre. The block includes a resident house manager, a residents’ lounge and separate laundry facilities fitted with Miele appliances. The apartment is offered chain free and sits within a purpose-built development of 52 apartments constructed in the 1980s.
The flat is compact (approximately 346 sq ft) and laid out with an entrance hall, lounge with garden access, separate kitchen, double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a wet room. Heating is by electric room heaters and the property has double glazing; the EPC rating is C. Practical factors to note: the lease has about 88–89 years remaining, the annual service charge is about £2,500 and the ground rent £498.
This location suits buyers wanting town-centre convenience with nearby countryside and riverside walks. Abingdon’s shops, leisure facilities and good transport links (Didcot Parkway mainline station nearby) make the area convenient for visitors and family. The development is age-restricted (residents must meet the over-60/over-55 couple condition).
Important considerations: the property is small and may not suit buyers needing generous living space; heating is electric room heaters rather than gas central heating; the area is identified as having a high flooding risk, which should be investigated with insurers and surveyors. Overall, the apartment presents a low-maintenance retirement option with communal support and pleasant grounds, but buyers should factor lease length, service charges and flood risk into their plans.
