Set within the sympathetically restored Old Gaol development, this light first-floor apartment pairs period character with contemporary comfort. The living room opens onto a generous balcony with town-centre and garden views; both bedrooms have patio doors with Juliet balconies. High-spec finishes include a comprehensively fitted kitchen with quartz worktops and integrated Bosch appliances, luxury principal bathroom and en‑suite, plus aluminium double-glazed doors and windows.
Practical comforts are strong: a long lease (986 years), allocated underground parking, on-site residents’ gym, secure gated landscaped grounds and a private riverside tranquillity garden. The building benefits from modern services such as an efficient heat-recovery system feeding underfloor heating and hot water, double glazing and video entry phone for added peace of mind. EPC rating B and Council Tax band D are further positives for running costs and resale.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold apartment with an annual service charge (c. £3,254.72) and an underground allocated parking space included. Broadband provision at the address is currently very slow, and the local recorded crime level is high — factors to consider if homeworking or prioritising low-crime streets. Flooding risk is recorded as medium.
Ideal for professionals seeking a secure, low-maintenance town-centre base or downsizers wanting town amenities and riverside walks on the doorstep, this apartment offers a ready-to-move-into option with early vacant possession and no onward chain. Its combination of historic setting, contemporary specification and long lease makes it a practical purchase, though buyers should factor running charges and connectivity into their decision.
