Summary - East St. Helen Street, Abingdon, OX14 OX14 5EB
5 bed 4 bath House
Spacious five-bedroom town house with private mooring and extensive gardens for family living..
Grade II listed character home dating from the 13th century
Helensbourne is a highly individual Grade II listed town house arranged over four floors including a cellar, offering nearly 3,730 sqft of accommodation and a rare private mooring on the River Thames. Period features — ornate cornicing, panelled walls, fireplaces and decorative doorframes — give the home significant character and a striking entrance hall that runs the full depth of the property. The principal bedroom and several reception rooms take advantage of river and garden outlooks.
The ground floor delivers formal and informal living with three reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, utility and cloakroom; upstairs there are five bedrooms and four bathrooms, plus a large loft area for storage or conversion. Outside the rear garden is arranged as a series of terraces culminating in a paved riverside terrace and private boat mooring — excellent for family leisure and entertaining.
Buyers should note the property's listed status, which restricts alterations and can complicate refurbishment or extensions. There is a medium flood risk because of the riverside location and the area records higher-than-average crime; these are material considerations for insurance and security planning. Council Tax is at the higher band G and the house will require sensitive maintenance to preserve its fabric given its age and historic listing.
This house will suit a family or buyer seeking a substantial, characterful riverside home with potential for sympathetic updating rather than a turn-key modern property. Its combination of scale, river access and central town location makes it a distinctive offer in Abingdon for those comfortable with listed-building ownership responsibilities.
