Summary - 3 The Meadows, Red Lumb OL12 7TX
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Ready-to-move-in period apartment with modern eco heating and long lease.
Ground-floor two-bedroom apartment with open countryside views
This immaculately presented two-bedroom ground-floor apartment sits in a peaceful rural setting on the edge of Norden, with open countryside views and immediate move-in condition. The current owners have fully refurbished the layout to a high standard, delivering an open-plan living/dining/kitchen, two double bedrooms and a modern family bathroom — attractive for first-time buyers seeking a finished home.
The property features modern eco-technology that cuts typical running costs: a Sunamp Thermino 150 heat battery for on-demand hot water and Ecostrad IQ ceramic radiators with Wi‑Fi controls. Allocated off-street parking and secure communal gardens add practical convenience, while the very long lease (968 years) removes common leasehold concerns.
Notable practical points: the apartment is compact at around 568 sq ft and broadband speeds in the area are very slow, which may affect remote working. The building’s original granite/whinstone walls likely have no internal insulation (assumed), so consider future insulation improvements for comfort. Ongoing costs include a service charge (approx. £1,138 average) and a small annual ground rent (£50).
Overall this is a rare, ready-to-live-in period apartment that combines countryside tranquillity with contemporary fittings and efficient heating. It will suit buyers who prioritise low maintenance, quality finishes and rural views, but who can accept a small footprint and limited internet speeds.
