A compact, ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in the converted Symington House, suited to a single occupant or buy-to-let investor. The building retains Victorian character externally while the flat offers a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a shower room and double glazing. Its small footprint makes for low running upkeep and easy lock-up-and-leave town-centre living.
Positioning is the apartment’s strongest asset: a few minutes’ walk to Rugby railway station with frequent mainline links to London and the Midlands, and immediate access to shops, restaurants, Caldecott Park and local cultural amenities. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working or tenant demand from commuters.
Buyers should note material limitations plainly. The flat is very small (approx. 317 sq ft), heated by slimline electric panel heaters, and rated EPC D — running costs can be higher than gas-heated homes. It is leasehold with 117 years remaining, a service charge of about £1,614.60 pa and a £250 pa ground rent. The local area records higher crime levels, which may affect resale or rental appeal for some buyers.
For first-time buyers seeking an affordable town-centre entry or investors targeting commuter tenants, this apartment offers low upfront price and strong location. Factor in the service charge, electric heating and compact internal space when assessing total costs and rental yield potential.
