A bright two-bedroom, ground-floor apartment in the historic Wallace Green area, just a short walk from the town centre, railway station and the Elizabethan Town Walls. The layout is practical: a communal entrance leads to a private hall, two double bedrooms, a generous living room and a galley kitchen with space for appliances. A rear hallway provides access to the shared garden and the bathroom with shower-over-bath.
The property has genuine long-term security with a very long lease (967 years remaining) and a low annual ground rent of £25. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators; windows are double glazed (installation date unknown). Council tax is low (Band A), and broadband and mobile signal are strong — useful for working from home or staying connected.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer or someone seeking a compact, centrally located home with character and potential. The building dates from the early 20th century and retains period stonework and cottage-style features. There is shared outside space and an outhouse for extra storage.
Be clear about a few practical considerations: the building’s stone walls are assumed to be uninsulated, the EPC rating is D, and some updating or insulation work may be needed to improve energy efficiency. The property is in an area with above-average crime statistics compared with national levels. The flat is small overall (about 560 sq ft) and is part of a block of four flats, so it will suit buyers comfortable with communal living.
