Set within a handsome Georgian façade, this ground-floor two-bedroom flat in The Mount places town-centre living and leafy communal gardens on your doorstep. The apartment benefits from generous ceiling heights, large sash windows and a spacious lounge/dining room that brings plenty of natural light and period character into everyday living.
The layout flows from a welcoming entrance hall to a roomy lounge, separate kitchen and two well-proportioned bedrooms. Practical features include mains gas central heating, double glazing and an allocated off-street parking space with visitor bays — helpful in a central location. The lease is exceptionally long (972 years remaining) with a nominal ground rent and an annual service charge of £1,560.
This property will appeal to first-time buyers or buyers downsizing who prioritise location, period details and outside space, while investors may value the central position and nearby amenities. The flat is sold chain free, making for a straightforward move. Buyers should note the communal-retirement classification of the building and the higher local crime rate, which are important considerations for some purchasers.
Cosmetic updating is needed in places — rooms retain traditional features but would benefit from modernisation to maximise comfort and value. Overall, this is a rare opportunity to secure a characterful, centrally placed two-bedroom apartment with parking and long lease security.
