Immaculate two-bed top-floor apartment in a converted Victorian clock tower with allocated parking and striking open views..
Top-floor two-bedroom apartment with en-suite and fitted wardrobes
A striking top-floor two-bedroom apartment set within the converted Victorian Birch Hill Clock Tower. The apartment has been newly renovated and presents as a bright, open-plan home with high ceilings, feature windows and a modern fitted kitchen with integral appliances. The master bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and an en-suite; a second double bedroom and a contemporary three-piece family bathroom complete the accommodation.
This property suits a first-time buyer or professional couple seeking character with low immediate maintenance. Benefits include private secure entry with intercom, an allocated off-street parking space and well-kept communal gardens. The building’s historic features — arched brick exterior and tall windows — give the flat strong period character and attractive open-aspect views.
Buyers should note important constraints: the apartment is leasehold and the building has listed status, which may restrict alterations and could complicate mortgage or insurance arrangements. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, and broadband speeds in the area are slow. The wider neighbourhood scores high on deprivation indices despite very low local crime.
Overall this is a well-presented, low-upkeep flat with period charm and modern finishes, best for purchasers who prioritise character and a ready-to-move-in home over the flexibility of major structural changes.
