Set within Grade II‑listed John Dower House, this top‑floor two‑bedroom apartment was the development’s show suite and benefits from an exceptional roof lantern that floods the entrance and hallway with natural light. The layout is spacious and carefully considered: a large sitting room with original marble fireplace, a generous kitchen‑breakfast room with high‑spec Bosch and Fisher & Paykel appliances, two double bedrooms overlooking communal gardens and a roomy walk‑in shower room.
Practical features include lift access from the underground car park, secure monitored undercroft parking (available by separate nominal fee), 24‑hour CCTV, secondary glazing and included designer blinds and light fittings. The apartment sits within a managed community scheme with gas central heating via a Heat Interface Unit and useful utility and storage cupboards housing laundry appliances.
Important facts and drawbacks: the property is leasehold (997 years remaining) with an above‑average annual service charge around £5,928 (includes recent rebate) and no ground rent. The building’s listed status may restrict alterations and could complicate works. A Section 20 notice for small roof maintenance is noted (details awaited and may be covered by insurance or reserves). Local crime statistics are high — the building’s monitoring and on‑site management mitigate risk but the area rating should be considered.
This apartment suits buyers seeking a central, low‑maintenance home or a city‑centre investment with strong presentation and long lease length. It is offered with no onward chain and presents immediate move‑in potential while also appealing to those looking for period character combined with modern conveniences.
