Tucked away at the rear of an attractive early-1800s building on Norton High Street, this ground-floor one-bedroom flat is aimed squarely at first-time buyers seeking a compact, characterful home close to shops, cafés and the village green. The property benefits from a private entrance, a shared walled garden and original period features including high ceilings, decorative cornice and a feature fireplace that give genuine period charm.
The accommodation is practical and ready to occupy: a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a recently refitted bathroom with shower-over-bath, and a bedroom with built-in wardrobes. Gas central heating and double glazing are installed throughout, and the property is offered chain free for a straightforward move-in.
Important practical details are clear: the flat is leasehold with 101 years remaining, an annual service charge of £720 and a ground rent of £50. The overall internal area is compact (c. 422 sq ft), so space is best suited to an individual or couple rather than a family. The solid-brick construction and likely lack of cavity insulation mean heating costs could be higher than for modern builds, despite gas central heating and double glazing.
The location is a major strength — Norton High Street’s amenities, excellent mobile and broadband speeds, and nearby well-regarded schools add appeal. Buyers should note the local crime level is above average; a viewing will help assess the immediate street feel and security. Overall this is a manageable, characterful starter home with clear running costs and tenure details to consider before purchase.
