This handsome ground-floor apartment occupies part of a Grade I listed Georgian townhouse on Castle Street, providing generous room sizes and period character across approximately 1,141 sq ft. Tall sash windows, high ceilings and traditional detailing give the living spaces a bright, airy feel, while the layout includes two double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a large kitchen/diner — useful for couples or first-time buyers wanting extra space.
Practical benefits include your own front door, one allocated off-street parking space, a communal courtyard garden and central heating. The property is offered chain-free with a very long lease (999 years from 2006) and no ground rent; a monthly service charge of around £90 covers building maintenance via the management company.
Important considerations: the building’s Grade I listed status means any alterations will need listed-building consent and may limit refurbishment options. The local area scores high for crime and relative deprivation, which may concern buyers seeking quieter, low-crime neighbourhoods. The flat is part of a former municipal building (Mary Stanley Hospital), so some communal management arrangements apply.
