Both bedrooms are generous doubles with fitted storage; the master benefits from an en-suite and there is a separate contemporary bathroom. Practical features include gas central heating, secondary glazing and a video intercom system. The apartment is vacant and chain-free, with a long lease (181 years), making a quick move feasible for first-time buyers or downsizers.
Buyers should note material considerations: the building’s Grade II listing may restrict alterations and add complexity to works or permissions. The annual service charge is currently around £2,404 and ground rent £75 per year. The property sits in an area with higher-than-average recorded crime, which prospective purchasers should factor into their decision.
Overall this flat offers a stylish central-town base with period character, private outdoor space and a long lease. It will suit buyers seeking a low-maintenance urban home or a town-centre investment, provided they accept listed-building constraints and the ongoing service charge commitment.
