Set on the banks of the River Thames in central Abingdon, this newly renovated two-bedroom first-floor apartment offers bright, turn‑key living with river views and a private balcony. The Old Gaol development combines period character with modern construction, and residents benefit from lift access, underground secure parking plus a garage, communal gardens and on-site gym facilities.
The accommodation is well planned for everyday life or renting: an open-plan living/dining room with large windows, a modern integrated kitchen, a principal bedroom with an en‑suite and a second versatile double bedroom. Heating is via an air‑source heat pump with underfloor distribution, and the property has long leasehold security (986 years remaining) and double glazing installed post‑2002.
Important practical points are disclosed plainly: the property sits in a medium flood‑risk area and the wider location records higher crime levels. Service charges are approximately £2,260 per year and ground rent/estate charges about £1,700 per year, which is high and will affect running costs. Broadband speeds in the building are reported very slow, though mobile signal is excellent.
This apartment will suit buyers wanting riverside, low‑maintenance living with modern comfort and secure parking. It is offered chain‑free and ready to occupy, but consider the repeated service and running costs, the flood risk and local crime statistics when assessing suitability.
