The flat has been recently redecorated throughout with new carpets and kitchen flooring, and benefits from gas central heating and double glazing installed after 2002.
The apartment sits in mature communal gardens and includes off-street parking, favourable views and a sizeable living room alongside a double bedroom and bathroom. The long lease (circa 949 years) and low ground rent provide long-term security, while council tax is described as cheap.
Buyers should note material considerations: the building’s Grade II listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate permissions or maintenance works. There is an average service charge of around £4,000 per year, which is a significant ongoing cost to factor into budgets. The property is small at approximately 334 sqft, best suited to a single occupant or couple seeking a low-maintenance home.
In short, this apartment is a characterful, ready-to-move-into option for a downsizer or retiree who values village life and period charm, provided they are comfortable with listed-building constraints and the stated service charges.
