Set within the heart of Great Chesterford, this three-bedroom top-floor apartment offers a characterful first home with private outdoor space and a garage. Bright rooms, high ceilings and original sash windows create an immediately appealing period atmosphere. The property is offered chain free and comes with a long share-of-freehold lease (995 years remaining).
Practical positives include a block-paved courtyard garden and a separate garage with power and rear access, useful for storage or secure parking. The apartment has gas central heating, fast fibre broadband and an affordable council tax band — helpful for day-to-day running costs.
Buyers should note the property is Grade II listed and in a conservation area, so alteration options will be limited and subject to consent. Construction details indicate timber-frame walls with no built-in insulation assumed and secondary glazed sash windows; upgrading thermal performance or soundproofing will require sensitive, potentially costly work that respects the listing.
The layout suits those who value village living and period character: three bedrooms, a generous living/dining room and one bathroom. For first-time buyers seeking a home with immediate charm and long-term potential, this apartment combines central location, outside space and low running costs — but expect planning and conservation considerations for any renovation.
