A ground-floor apartment in a Grade II listed Georgian building, Church Cottage blends historic character with practical living. Exposed beams, high ceilings and sash windows give the living areas and two double bedrooms strong period charm, while a conservatory and wooden kitchen add usable, light-filled space. An allocated off-street parking space is convenient for town-centre living.
This property suits a buyer who values period character and is prepared for the responsibilities of a listed, older building. The apartment has rental potential (approx. £825pcm) for investors, but the 61-year lease and listed status will complicate mortgage and refurbishment options. Prospective buyers should seek legal advice on lease extension costs and listed-building consent requirements.
Practical points to note: the EPC rating is F and the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks wall insulation, so heating costs may be higher than modern homes. Service charge and ground rent are modest, but the short lease means many mortgage lenders may refuse to lend; cash buyers or specialist lenders are more likely options. The surrounding area is town-centre with good amenities and transport links, though local crime statistics and area deprivation are above average.
