This split-level 3-bedroom duplex sits over the 1st and 2nd floors of a gated town-centre development, offering compact, low-maintenance living with secure communal access. The open-plan lounge/kitchen and en-suite master bedroom add practical, modern comforts while retaining period-built character. With 752 sq ft, the layout is best suited to a small family, sharers or first-time buyers seeking central convenience.
Practical points are clear: the property is leasehold with 115 years remaining, an average service charge of £1,100 and ground rent around £300. There is no allocated parking and the building is in a high-crime postcode, so buyers should factor security and parking arrangements into their plans despite the gated courtyard and bicycle storage.
The apartment benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing (installed before 2002) and proximity to excellent transport, schools and town-centre amenities. The building’s solid-brick construction means potential energy-efficiency improvements could be considered, as original walls likely lack cavity insulation. Overall this is a chain-free, town-centre option with immediate move-in potential but identifiable running costs and practical limitations to weigh up.
