Set within an elegant Georgian building, this first-floor one-bedroom apartment blends period character with everyday practicality. High ceilings, sash windows, picture rails and decorative coving give the principal rooms a bright, airy feel, while views towards Ham Hill and Leckhampton Hill add a pleasant outlook. The layout includes a welcoming hallway, light-filled lounge/dining room, fitted kitchen, double bedroom and a bathroom.
Practical benefits suit a first-time buyer: share of freehold with an extremely long lease (993 years), one allocated off-street parking space, an enclosed communal garden and sensible running costs (Council Tax band A). The building has an impressive pillared entrance and an intercom for convenience; local shops, parkland and regular bus routes are all within a short walk.
Be aware of a few material points. The apartment is a modest 469 sq ft, so storage and space are limited compared with larger flats. The stone walls are likely uninsulated (as-built), and the double glazing install date is unknown — improving thermal performance may be desirable. There is a monthly maintenance charge (£140/£1,680pa) for communal upkeep.
Overall, this is a characterful, low-maintenance home in an affluent, well-connected suburb. It will suit a buyer seeking manageable living costs, convenient amenities and classic period details, and who is comfortable with a compact footprint and potential minor energy-efficiency upgrades.
