Property description
A beautifully restored Georgian double fronted four bedroom three storey house in the heart of Abingdon. The property is Grade II Listed and is located in the Abingdon Conservation area on an attractive side street off the market square in proximity to the River Thames.
The property has been restored to an exceptionally high standard but still has its charming period features including exposed beams, open fireplace, inglenook fireplace with free standing wood burner and sash windows fitted with Ventrolla draught exclusion system.
In 2014 a bespoke traditional style kitchen by Griggs and Mackay was added and the boiler replaced. In 2013 all ground floor rear windows, doors and French doors were replaced by Jack Brunsdon. In the same year both bathrooms were completely and individually restyled to a very high standard. There is a pretty walled garden with a dining terrace, lawn and a raised children's play house.
East St Helen Street is located in Abingdon's historic centre with St Helen's Church and the market square nearby. Abingdon provides a wide range of excellent services and amenities with Waitrose and Tesco supermarkets and renowned primary and secondary schools including Abingdon School, Our Lady's, St Helen & St Katharine, The Manor Preparatory and The European School at Culham. The centre of Abingdon has been rejuvenated in recent years and boasts many shops, restaurants and public houses. From Radley and Didcot there are regular railway services to Oxford and London and the A34 to the west of Abingdon provides transport links to the M4 and M40 motorway. There are also regular bus services to Oxford.
