Set within a striking Victorian Gothic Revival chapel conversion, this ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers generous living across approximately 83 sq.m. The main lounge is particularly large with high ceilings and arched period windows that bring character and light; the kitchen and bathroom are modern and practical. Off-street parking and good mobile signal and broadband speeds add everyday convenience.
The flat is sold chain-free and is presented as an attractive option for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. It is leasehold; the current service charge is £627.17 with buildings insurance £393.27 (total annual communal cost £1,020.27 for 2025–26). The property’s size and room proportions give clear potential for functional reconfiguration, subject to lease terms and building management.
Buyers should note this home sits in a very deprived area with a very high local crime rate. These local issues are reflected in pricing but will be important for owner-occupiers and investors to factor into budgeting and tenancy considerations. Flood risk is reported as none.
Local amenities are plentiful nearby, including shops, transport links and schools (several primary and secondary options with mixed Ofsted outcomes). The building’s historic exterior and generous internal volumes will suit someone who values character and space, but who is realistic about the area’s challenges.
