Set on the top floor of a converted 19th-century rectory, this bright two-bedroom apartment combines generous space with period character and far-reaching skyline views. The open-plan living room sits beneath a pitched roof, with a south-facing balcony, built-in shelving and a mezzanine study that provides flexible workspace or storage. At roughly 1,022 sq ft, the layout feels unusually spacious for an inner-city flat.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (approx. 994 years) and share of freehold, low running costs with a service charge of about £400 per year, double glazing installed since 2002 and mains gas central heating. The principal bedroom has an ensuite and good built-in storage; the second bedroom and family bathroom both benefit from natural light via skylights and south-facing windows.
Material considerations are straightforward and factual: the building is solid-brick Victorian construction with no built-in cavity insulation assumed, so heating costs and thermal performance may be higher than a modern block. The mezzanine is reached by a ladder and the apartment sits on upper floors accessed by communal stairs, which may limit accessibility for some buyers. As with most period conversions, occasional maintenance or sympathetic upgrades may be required to preserve the character and fabric of the building.
This apartment will suit buyers who value space, character and proximity to green spaces and local amenities — ideal for professionals seeking a roomy city base with home-working options, or couples wanting a large, well-located flat with long lease security.
