First-floor two-bedroom with grand period features and extensive communal grounds..
Share of freehold with 102 years remaining on the lease
Set within extensive communal grounds of around 2.5 acres, this two-bedroom first-floor apartment in a converted Victorian residence combines period character with practical living. High ceilings, large rooms and original detail create an airy, elegant living space; the sitting/dining room is dual aspect with garden views and a bespoke chandelier adds charm. The kitchen is upgraded with integrated appliances and a modern induction hob, while both bedrooms are doubles with plentiful fitted storage and the master benefits from an en-suite. Practical advantages include a share of freehold, 102 years remaining on the lease, allocated and visitor parking, a large private shed, and LPG-fired boiler with radiators. Buyers should note an above-average annual service charge (listed at £4,644.68 for 2025) which covers communal maintenance and gardens, very slow broadband in the area, and a local recorded higher crime level. The building was converted to apartments in 2002 and has double glazing installed after 2002; walls are solid brick and likely uninsulated, which may affect running costs and future improvement plans. This property suits someone seeking a character-filled home in a semi-rural setting with generous communal grounds — attractive for downsizers or buyers prioritising space and period detail — but it will particularly appeal to those prepared for service-charge commitments and who can manage slower broadband speeds.
