Continental living with individually styled apartments in Abingdon

Continental style apartment living is proving to be an increasingly popular choice for Abingdon house hunters according to leading property developer, Persimmon Homes.

Over 75 percent of properties at Persimmon’s award winning The Maltings development in Abingdon have been snapped up with purchasers clearly recognising the benefits associated with owning a highly stylish yet low maintenance new home. Indeed such has been the popularity of apartments at The Maltings with single home owners that just two, one bedroom apartments remain for sale, alongside a choice of two bedroom properties.

“Over the last ten years the greatest increase in the share of total house sales has been from apartments,” commented Elaine Stratford, sales director for Persimmon Homes Thames Valley.

“In 1996 apartments made up just 11 percent of property sales but by last year this had rocketed to 20 percent and is a trend we have certainly seen impacting upon our sales at The Maltings. Purchasers here have been quick to acknowledge the many advantages of apartment living from living close to the centre of Abingdon to not having to worry about maintaining any outdoor grounds and many have told us that they simply love living here. There are lifts and basement parking to ensure the popularity of the development appeals to a wide range of buyers and ages.

“The final 11 properties at The Maltings will all be ready for occupation this Autumn and we would therefore urge house hunters to move quickly or risk disappointment. One of the most popular factors here has been not only the excellent location but the wonderful elevations of the building. These consequently create some very individual and stylish curved rooms, some with stunning curved windows across one side of the room,” concluded Elaine.

Prices for the remaining apartments at The Maltings currently start from £174,950 for a one bedroom property with allocated parking. Also available are a range of two and three bedroom properties priced from £224,950 to £284,950 and offering a range of unique features including voluminous reception halls, curved living areas, balconies, master bedroom suites plus beautifully pitched and curved ceilings to the penthouse properties.

The Maltings is situated in the heart of the historic town of Abingdon, and has been carefully designed to blend into the local architecture. The development is situated a stone’s throw from the town centre and a ten minute walk from the river’s edge. It’s also ideal for Oxford and the city’s ring road with access to the M40 and A34.

For further information on homes available at The Maltings, please visit the onsite marketing suite and show home open daily from 10:00am to 5:00pm.

Persimmon Homes are also launching a brand new development at Northcourt Square, Abingdon which features townhouses, a detached home and a small block of apartments.
