Property description
An outstanding six bedroom semi-detached Victorian house which has been beautifully and sympathetically renovated by the current owners, preserving many of its original features and elegant rooms. It has been extended to the side adding a wide entrance hall, larger sitting room and a garden room.
The house, which was built in 1902, sits on the west side of Park Crescent, arguably the most desirable residential address in Abingdon. It is a private road with Park Road on the south side, closed to through-traffic and with the beautiful Albert Park in the centre. The house overlooks the park and is within the Abingdon Albert Park Conservation Area, ideally located for both Abingdon School and St Helens School.
Described by Sir John Betjeman as Englands finest example of a Victorian suburb, the park was given Grade II listing status in 1998.
6 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, drawing room, sitting room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, garden room, utility room, 2 cloakrooms, entrance hall, cellar, driveway parking, gardens.
SITUATION Albert Park was formerly Conduit Field. From 1860, the park, together with the surrounding Victorian and Edwardian houses, was laid out. This land is in the Abingdon Albert Park Conservation Area and is still leased from Christ's Hospital of Abingdon. The property is located between the popular Abingdon School and St Helen's School and overlooks the park to the front.
Sports and recreation are well catered for in the town, with the purpose built White Horse Leisure and Tennis Centre, Tilsley Park and the Southern Town Park providing a range of facilities. The Tesco Extra store to the west of the town is the largest supermarket in Abingdon and nearby is the recently redeveloped Fairacres Retail Park. Among shops in the town centre is a Waitrose store.
