Summary - 26 Eaglegate CO1 2PR
1 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Unique high-ceilinged one-bedroom with allocated parking near station and park.
Grade II listed duplex with high vaulted ceilings and arched feature windows
Set within a converted Victorian building, this Grade II listed duplex maisonette offers dramatic high ceilings, large arched windows and a mezzanine double bedroom overlooking the living space. The layout creates a bright, airy main room with exposed beams and a characterful focal point — the original gate mechanism — making it ideal for someone who values period features and an open, loft-style feel.
Practical advantages include an allocated parking space with visitor bays, a modern first-floor bathroom and a ground-floor cloakroom. The central location is a strong draw: Castle Park, the city centre and the train station are all within easy walking distance, and local amenities are close by.
There are important caveats. The flat is Grade II listed, which restricts alterations and may complicate maintenance. The lease currently shows about 80 years remaining; some lenders refuse mortgages on shorter leases, and buyers should verify the updated lease position and lending options. Electric storage heating and solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) affect running costs and may require future investment.
Overall, this property will suit a buyer seeking a distinctive town-centre home or a buy-to-let purchaser prepared for listed-building care and leasehold considerations. Commission a survey, check lease documentation, and confirm mortgage availability before proceeding.
