Set in the heart of Alton, this two-bedroom first-floor apartment occupies a converted period building with a bay-windowed principal bedroom and pleasant street-facing character. The lounge is spacious for the size, and a separate kitchen and modern bathroom complete practical living space across approximately 699 sq ft. Two allocated off-street parking spaces are a rare convenience for a town-centre flat.
Practical features include double glazing throughout, a very long lease (991 years) and a share of freehold, which together give long-term security for buyers and investors. The apartment is heated by electric storage heaters and mains electricity is the primary fuel; this suits properties with lower initial outlay but can mean higher running costs compared with gas heating.
Notable running costs and conditions are clear: an annual service charge of around £1,500 and the recorded local high crime level — both factors to weigh for residents or buy-to-let purchasers. The property offers average internal room sizes and limited private outdoor space typical of town‑centre conversions, so it will suit buyers who prioritise location and convenience over large gardens.
This apartment is well-positioned for first-time buyers, downsizers or investors seeking a town-centre holding with strong local amenities and transport links. It presents straightforward onward potential for cosmetic updating where desired, while the share of freehold and long lease underpin long-term ownership certainty.
