Characterful one-bedroom flat ideal for first-time buyers wanting village life.
Grade II listed first-floor apartment with original exposed beams
A charming Grade II listed one-bedroom apartment set on the first floor in the heart of Thorney village. Original exposed beams, sash windows and a feature fireplace give genuine period character while a modern kitchen and shower room provide comfortable, move-in-ready living for a first-time buyer or countryside commuter.
The flat sits in a small historic terrace and comes with a long lease (116 years) and a share of the freehold via the building’s management company — buyers should expect communal responsibilities and possible additional fees for leasehold documentation. Listed status brings architectural appeal but also restrictions on alterations, so major changes or external works will need consent.
Practical notes: the property uses electric storage heating with secondary glazing and solid brick walls (likely limited insulation), so heating costs and thermal comfort may be higher than modern builds. Broadband and mobile signal are strong and council tax is very low, making the flat a practical, economical option for someone seeking character in a village setting.
Overall this is a compact, characterful home with clear heritage appeal and straightforward accommodation. It will suit buyers who prioritise period charm and village living and who are comfortable with conservation restrictions and communal leasehold responsibilities.
