Set within a stone-built period building, this two-bedroom ground-floor apartment is a practical and characterful choice for first-time buyers. The principal bedroom and lounge benefit from large bay windows and multiple south- and west-facing windows, delivering generous light and town views. Decorative order is tidy and traditional, with a fitted kitchen, modern bathroom and useful built-in storage throughout.
Practical running costs are reasonable: mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing (install date unknown), and a current EPC of 64 (Band D) with potential to 79. The leasehold has a very long remaining term (961 years), which removes common short-lease complications. Shared gated driveway/communal parking and landscaped stone terracing provide external space, although no private garden is included.
Be aware of material location and construction factors. The local area records very high crime levels and broader area deprivation, which may affect resale or rental appeal. The building predates 1900 and walls are assumed uninsulated; further energy or insulation upgrades could be beneficial. For buyers prioritising central town living, light-filled rooms and long lease security, this apartment offers clear value, but those seeking private outdoor space or a quieter neighbourhood should note the compromises.
