Set in an attractive Victorian building on the edge of Charlton Down, this well-presented one-bedroom first-floor apartment combines character proportions with practical, low-maintenance living. High ceilings, tall windows and generous room heights make the 462 sq ft interior feel light and airy, while double glazing and gas central heating provide everyday comfort.
The flat is sold with a share of freehold and an exceptionally long lease (965 years), offering genuine tenure security. Off-street parking and use of communal gardens add outdoor space without upkeep, and the village setting keeps local services close by — post office, community centre and nearby schools are within easy reach. Broadband speeds are fast, so the home suits someone who still wants good connectivity in a rural-feeling area.
Practical considerations are clear and stated. The building dates from the 1930s–1940s and has solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, so heating costs and thermal performance may be higher than modern builds. The date of the double glazing is not confirmed; further checks are recommended if energy efficiency is important. The property is an average-sized one-bedroom apartment with limited room count, so it best suits a downsizer or single occupant rather than a family.
Overall, this apartment will appeal to buyers seeking a characterful, secure downsizing option with minimal outdoor maintenance, good local amenities and long leasehold security. If you prioritise modern insulation and larger living spaces, budget for upgrades and energy improvements should be considered.
