Long lease, tenant in situ—ideal for buy-to-let investors seeking immediate income.
Grade II listed historic building with original sash windows
Set within the iconic Grade II listed Old Library, this contemporary two-bedroom apartment blends period character with modern fittings. Tall original sash windows (secondary glazed) and high ceilings create an airy living space; Karndean flooring and an integrated kitchen complete the stylish interior. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, while a fully tiled bathroom includes a separate double-headed shower.
This is offered to landlords only — a tenant currently pays £815 pcm, providing immediate rental income. The long lease (999 years from 2019) is a strong ownership position, and the current ground rent is modest at £200 pa. Service charge details are to be confirmed.
Buyers should note material points: the building’s listed status can restrict alterations and may complicate works or permissions. Heating is by electric room heaters (no communal gas or central heating) and the EPC is grade E. The apartment is compact at about 549 sq ft and located in a communal-retirement classified building in a busy town centre, which may not suit everyone.
Overall, this unit will appeal to investors or landlords seeking a centrally located, characterful let with immediate income and very long lease security. Those wanting to live in the flat should factor in tenancy, listed-building constraints and electric-only heating when considering purchase.
