Victorian one-bed with park views, long lease and communal garden.
Park-facing bay windows and high ceilings
Set on the first floor of an attractive Victorian building, this one-bedroom flat offers generous rooms, high ceilings and bay windows framing views over Abington Park. The living room and bedroom are both spacious for the size, and original period details such as a decorative fireplace and tall sash-style windows give the apartment immediate character.
The property includes use of a well-kept communal rear garden and benefits from an exceptionally long lease (circa 950 years). Service charges are modest at about £1,320 per year (circa £110 pcm) — buyers should verify running costs through their solicitor. Electric storage heating provides warmth but may be less efficient than modern gas systems.
Practical points to note: the building is of solid brick construction (likely pre-1900) with no assumed cavity insulation, and heating is electric storage. The area records above-average crime, so buyers should consider security and insurance implications. Council tax is very cheap, and broadband and mobile signal are strong — useful for professionals working from home.
This flat will suit a first-time buyer, downsizer or professional seeking character, park-facing views and a central Abington location with cafés, shops and transport links a short walk away. While presented well, there is scope to update heating and insulation for future running-cost savings.
