Set on the third floor of a handsome Georgian townhouse in Leamington Spa’s Conservation Area, this one-bedroom apartment suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a central, characterful home. The open-plan lounge and fitted kitchen, double bedroom and shower room make efficient use of the 464 sq ft footprint, with high ceilings and dormer/velux windows adding light. The property currently produces around £9,300 pa in rental income and sits close to shops, cafés, parks and the train station.
Practical features include gas central heating with a condensing boiler, double glazing throughout and included kitchen appliances. The long lease (108 years remaining) gives security of tenure, but the apartment is leasehold with an annual ground rent of £200 and a relatively high service charge of about £2,300 per year — factors that will affect running costs and yield calculations.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly: the EPC is D (56), the building’s solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, and the flat is on the third floor accessed by stairs (no lift). The local crime level is recorded as high for the area, which may influence renter demand and insurance costs. Overall, this is a compact, well‑located flat that rewards cosmetic updating or targeted investment management rather than a buyer seeking a large, low‑maintenance home.
