Property description
A unique and rare opportunity to acquire one of Abingdon's finest town houses. This handsome and imposing family residence is of significant historical and architectural interest with origins dating back to 1728. A compelling range of features associated with its period contribute to its overall appeal and justifies its Grade II star listing, most noteworthy of which being the refined 21' x 19'8 first floor panelled drawing room.
The accommodation is well arranged and offers a high degree of versatility over its four levels, atop there is an accessible loft storage and viewing platform from the roof. The reception hall leading through to the entrance hall gives an immediate impression of its splendour which is reinforced by a splendid sitting room and dining room, comprehensively fitted kitchen and breakfast room.
