Set within the Grade II listed County House, this two/three-bedroom maisonette combines historic character with central convenience. The apartment has previously operated as a successful rental and is eligible for holiday lets, making it attractive to investors seeking immediate income or a turnkey short-let opportunity. An allocated off-street parking space is rare for city-centre living and adds practical value.
The layout spans two levels with high ceilings and large windows that flood the open-plan kitchen/diner and mezzanine with light. Two principal bedrooms and a flexible third room provide practical living space for couples, small families, or multi-use rental configurations. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern living and letting demands.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property is leasehold with around 108 years remaining, an annual service charge of about £2,017 and a small ground rent of £200. The building’s listed status will restrict external and some internal alterations and may complicate conversions. Heating is electric storage, and the solid-brick walls likely lack insulation, so running costs could be higher than modern homes. The EPC rating is E.
This chain-free apartment suits purchasers who value central location, character features and rental potential, and who are comfortable managing the responsibilities of a listed, leasehold property. For an investor or buyer prepared to refresh interiors and accept higher energy costs, the property offers rare central parking and immediate income potential via holiday lets.
