A well-presented two-bedroom ground-floor apartment in popular Stoke Bishop, offered with no onward chain and an exceptionally long lease. The layout makes efficient use of 584 sq ft, with a bright lounge/diner overlooking mature communal gardens and a separate kitchen with pleasant outlook. Two front-facing bedrooms include built-in storage in the principal room, while a modern shower room completes the accommodation.
Practical benefits include a resident-only private garden, private garage and secure communal entrance. The flat has double glazing and electric room heaters; the long lease (approx. 956 years) and low crime in a very affluent area add ownership certainty. Service charge and management are in place: the current annual management charge is £2,100.71.
The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and retains mid-century proportions: ceiling heights are lower than modern new-builds and room sizes are compact. The interior is in good decorative order, but the block’s era and scale mean buyers seeking high ceilings or large rooms may prefer alternative properties. Council Tax Band B makes running costs relatively modest.
This apartment will suit downsizers or first-time buyers wanting a quiet, well-connected spot near highly regarded schools, as well as investors seeking a low-maintenance let with parking. Note: heating is electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which could affect running costs for some buyers.
