Characterful two-bed close to Bury centre and Metrolink.
Chain-free two-bedroom flat in converted Gothic Revival church
Set within an atmospheric Gothic Revival church conversion, this two-bedroom flat combines high ceilings and original stone character with a bright, modern interior. The large lounge/diner (over 21ft) and arched windows create a spacious feel rare for town-centre flats. Communal grounds and off-street parking give a leafy, tucked-away aspect while keeping Bury town centre and the Metrolink within easy walking distance.
The apartment is offered chain-free and suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a distinctive, low-maintenance home. The layout includes a separate kitchen, two well-proportioned bedrooms and a clean, practical bathroom. Council tax is described as affordable and the building benefits from a secure gated perimeter with mature trees and a paved forecourt.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with roughly 103–110 years remaining, a ground rent of around £100 per year and a service charge of approximately £1,950–£2,340 a year (c. £195 pcm). Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a gas central system, and broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow. The building dates from before 1900 and external stone walls are assumed uninsulated, which may affect running costs.
Overall, this is a characterful, centrally located flat that offers strong lifestyle appeal and immediate move-in potential, but buyers should budget for service charges, electric heating costs and possible retrofit work to improve thermal efficiency.
