Two-bedroom share-of-freehold with garage and 18 acres of communal grounds.
Top-floor two-bedroom apartment with en suite to principal bedroom
Set within 18 acres of communal parkland, this top-floor two-bedroom apartment occupies a striking neoclassical building in Thorndon Park. The property offers high ceilings, large sash-style windows and period character alongside modern living spaces: a generous lounge/diner, separate kitchen, principal bedroom with en suite and a practical utility room.
Practical benefits include a long remaining lease (946 years), share of freehold ownership, residents’ parking and a garage en bloc. There is no flood risk and broadband speeds are reported as fast, making the home suitable for remote working or commuting.
Notable running costs should be considered: the service charge is high (£4,340) and local council tax is above average. The building is of solid brick construction pre-1900 and likely has limited insulation, which can mean higher heating use despite mains gas central heating. The apartment is offered chain free, which can simplify and speed a purchase.
This home will suit buyers who value historic character and parkland views but are realistic about maintenance and ongoing service costs. It presents straightforward lifestyle appeal for first-time buyers or small families who want classic architecture, outside space, and convenient parking, and it also offers potential for cosmetic updating to personalise interiors.
