Set within The Retreat’s handsome Cotswold stone façade, this ground-floor two-bedroom apartment blends period charm with practical village living. High ceilings, sash windows and communal stained glass speak to the building’s history, while the neutrally decorated interiors offer a straightforward canvas for personalisation. The sitting room looks toward Leamington Road and the Cotswold escarpment, and the kitchen/dining space enjoys a pleasant outlook over the well-kept communal gardens.
The flat suits buyers seeking low-maintenance living close to Broadway High Street — ideal for downsizers, first-time purchasers or an investor targeting steady demand. Practical benefits include an en-bloc garage with power, allocated parking, double glazing (installed before 2002) and mains gas heating by boiler and radiators. The long unexpired lease (955 years) removes a common long-lease concern.
Buyers should note running costs: a service charge of about £1,884 per year applies, and the property is leasehold. Internal space is modest (approximately 668 sq ft) and there is no private garden — amenity is communal. The building’s stone walls are likely uninsulated (typical for pre-1900 construction), which could affect heating efficiency and future improvement costs.
Overall, this apartment offers a rare opportunity to live within a distinctive historic building in one of the North Cotswolds’ most desirable villages. It balances characterful living and convenience, but purchasers should allow for service charges, modest internal space and potential conservation-led maintenance due to the age and construction of the property.
