Town-centre location; local area records high crime and deprivation
A split-level, two-bedroom maisonette with clear period character in the heart of Monmouth. The apartment occupies two upper floors of a Victorian mid-terrace and offers high ceilings, sash windows, feature fireplaces and deceptively spacious rooms for its overall footprint. Chain-free and available immediately, it has previously been a rental and suits buyers seeking a town-centre base or an income property.
Practicalities are straightforward: a long lease (approx. 977 years from 2001) and a below-average annual service charge. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the building has solid brick walls with no assumed cavity insulation — buyers should factor potential upgrading or insulation costs into plans. The property is leasehold and additional leasehold pack fees may apply.
Location is a strong selling point if you want town-centre convenience: shops, cafés and amenities are on the doorstep and the apartment is within easy walking distance of local services. However, the immediate area scores poorly on local deprivation and recorded crime is high; those prioritising quiet or low-crime neighbourhoods should view with care.
Overall this is a characterful, affordable entry into Monmouth’s town-centre market. It will suit first-time buyers wanting period features and central living, or investors looking for a ready-to-let flat, provided the buyer budgets for electrical heating and possible thermal improvements.
