Characterful two-bedroom flat with gated parking, long lease and close to town amenities.
- Grade II listed Georgian conversion with period features
A spacious two-bedroom first-floor apartment within a converted Grade II listed Georgian building, offered chain free and with a very long lease (999 years from 2003). The 14ft x 14ft living room is bright thanks to original sash windows and high ceilings; a feature fireplace and exposed beam add period character. The flat includes gas central heating, secure gated off-street parking and is a short walk to the town centre, supermarket and train station.
Practical points are straightforward: the property is leasehold with a nominal ground rent and a notable annual service charge (£2,138). The building is historic and listed status may restrict changes and complicate some works or mortgage requirements. The walls are likely solid brick with no cavity insulation (as-built), and the EPC is D — consider energy improvements where allowed under listed-building constraints.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor looking for a characterful home close to local services and transport. Broadband speeds are slow locally and the wider area scores as deprived with higher crime levels; weigh commute and connectivity needs. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale of the rooms and the setting within the attractive period conversion.
