Grade II listed former coaching inn with strong period character
Set within a Grade II listed former coaching inn on Charing High Street, this unusually large first-floor apartment offers character, convenience and a village-centre address. The sitting room features an inglenook fireplace and High Street views; living spaces feel generous across the flat’s 1,298 sq ft. A modern kitchen and well-fitted shower room bring comfortable, low-maintenance living while gas central heating and ADSL broadband (approx. 70Mbps) meet everyday needs.
Practical benefits include one allocated off-street parking space, communal courtyard garden and an allocated cellar store. The current layout provides two bedrooms — a large double and a single divided by folding doors, which can be opened to create one large principal bedroom if required. The flat is offered with no forward chain and comes with share of freehold; there is no ground rent.
Important considerations: the building’s Grade II listing means alterations will be restricted and may require listed-building consent. The lease has 103 years remaining, and the service charge is £379.50 per quarter (approx. £1,518 yearly). There is a single shower room only and the apartment is on the first floor, accessed by stairs — factors to consider for mobility needs.
This property will suit buyers seeking a characterful, low-maintenance home in a well-served village setting — especially downsizers or retirees who value proximity to shops, station and local services — and investors wanting a distinctive period flat with clear rental appeal. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the size and period features in person.
