Set within the converted Moor Hospital (built 1883), this ground-floor two-bedroom apartment pairs dramatic Gothic Revival features with contemporary finishes. Tall, tri-aspect windows and very high ceilings create a bright, airy living space; the large open-plan kitchen, dining and living room is arranged for entertaining and everyday comfort. The main bedroom includes an ensuite, and a second double plus a modern bathroom complete the accommodation.
A notable rarity for an apartment: a generous west-facing private lawned garden bordered by mature hedges, with side gates to two dedicated off-street parking spaces. The garden is maintained by the development, reducing upkeep for residents. The home sits within a secure development with intercom entry and multiple entrances, and benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: the property is leasehold with about 239 years remaining, an average annual service charge of £3,830 and a small ground rent of £250. The development is classified as communal retirement and the local crime level is above average, which prospective buyers should weigh against the strong heritage character and convenient town-fringe location. Council tax band is affordable and there is no flood risk.
This apartment will suit someone seeking a low-maintenance, characterful home with private outside space — ideal for downsizers who still want generous rooms and modern comforts. Viewers should confirm any development-specific rules and running costs before proceeding.
