A town-centre conversion in Abingdon-on-Thames, Abbey Yard offers stylish apartments within a historic setting, designed for modern living and investment appeal.
Abbey Yard has a fascinating heritage, once home to Abingdon’s first cinema, the “Abingdon Picture Palace”, and later the Abbey Press printing firm. The site was also part of the town’s rich brewing history, dating back to the 19th century. The current redevelopment transforms a three-storey office building into a contemporary collection of apartments arranged around a private courtyard, blending historic character with modern design.
The development sits just off Stert Street, at the heart of Abingdon-on-Thames. Residents benefit from excellent transport links, with Oxford only 20 minutes away and direct train services from nearby Radley and Didcot Parkway to London Paddington and Birmingham. With its central location, cycle storage, lift access and parking options, Abbey Yard combines convenience with charm. Surrounded by shops, cafés, and amenities, it offers an attractive lifestyle for young professionals and a strong rental market for investors.
