This compact one-bedroom flat sits in the heart of Abingdon-on-Thames, a short walk from shops, parks and transport links. With a very long lease (circa 978 years), allocated off-street parking and no onward chain, it suits a first-time buyer seeking low-mobility costs or an investor after a city-centre rental. The layout offers a long living room, a double bedroom with built-in wardrobe and useful hallway storage.
The building is modern, double-glazed and gas‑heated with an EPC rating of C. The flat’s footprint is efficient at about 517 sq ft, so it works well for single occupation or as a buy-to-let; principal rooms feel proportionate though the kitchen is modest. The communal courtyard provides low-maintenance outdoor space but there is no private garden.
Be clear about ongoing costs and limitations: service charges are approximately £2,000 per year and ground rent about £200 per year. Broadband speeds are reported very slow locally, and recorded local crime levels are high — both practical considerations for occupiers or tenants. Overall, this is a convenient, low-effort central flat with strong lease security and parking, but with notable running-cost and location caveats that buyers should weigh.
