Set within the historic Beaconsfield House, this two-bedroom apartment combines period character with practical private outdoor space. The property has its own front door, an elevated private garden and off-street parking for one car — rare extras for a flat. High vaulted ceilings and large windows give the open-plan living kitchen plenty of light, while two bedrooms and a single bathroom suit a couple, first-time buyer or small family.
The apartment is leasehold with a very long remaining term (978 years) and an average service charge of £1,044. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators and glazing is double, though the install date is unknown. Energy performance is band C and council tax sits in band A, keeping running costs relatively low.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: the local area scores as deprived with a high crime level, and broadband speeds are slow. The overall internal size is small (approximately 474 sq ft) so storage and layout will feel compact. There may be potential to update or personalise finishes to modern tastes — the building’s period stonework and Victorian Gothic character are strong positives but could require sensitive upkeep.
Located close to local schools (several rated Good) and within easy reach of town and the train station, the apartment offers convenient transport links and nearby amenities including playgrounds, bus routes and leisure facilities. For those wanting character, a private garden and parking without the maintenance of a house, this property presents a distinctive, affordable entry into Halifax’s historic centre.
