A substantial Grade II listed apartment offering around 1,500 sq ft of well-proportioned living space in the heart of Bishops Waltham. The flat combines period character—sash windows, fireplaces and Georgian frontage—with generous modern fittings including a contemporary kitchen, utility room and a modern en-suite to the principal bedroom. A private paved courtyard provides outdoor space tucked away from the High Street.
Accommodation extends over multiple levels with an 18ft sitting room, separate dining room and a large 23ft loft room plus an additional 23ft loft area with scope for conversion (subject to planning and listed-building consents). The layout suits someone seeking roomy, characterful living close to village shops, cafes and amenities, with good broadband and low local crime.
Important practical points: the apartment is leasehold with about 114 years remaining and no fixed ground rent, but building costs and insurance are split 50:50 with the lower occupant. Listed status will restrict alterations and can complicate planning; any loft conversion or structural changes require listed-building and planning consents. There is an annual buildings insurance contribution (vendor figures around £400–£495 pa) and the owner is responsible for internal maintenance.
This is a rare central village flat for buyers who value historic character and generous internal space rather than a turnkey new build. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale and potential, and to discuss the implications of listed status and shared building responsibilities.
