Set within the converted Lower Willow Hall Mill on Gratrix Lane, this two-bedroom apartment offers a practical, characterful first home with private access and allocated off-street parking. The living room is bright and airy thanks to large double-glazed patio doors and a small balcony, while the master bedroom benefits from an ensuite for everyday convenience. At around 742 sq ft the layout feels roomy for its class and is ready to occupy with neutral finishes throughout.
The long lease (circa 978–999 years) and manageable ground rent make the ownership straightforward, and the property sits in a location with regular rail links to Halifax, Leeds and Manchester — useful for commuters. Local amenities include shops, leisure facilities and several well-rated primary and secondary schools, supporting family life and resale appeal.
Buyers should note the apartment uses electric heating with a boiler and radiators, which can be more costly than gas heating. There is an annual service charge of £1,391.97 plus a small ground rent of £125 and a £200 p.a. sinking fund; communal management costs should be factored into monthly outgoings. The area is described as relatively deprived and crime is average, so assess local factors against price and transport convenience before deciding.
Overall, this is a sensible purchase for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a characterful, well-located flat with secure parking and long lease terms, provided you allow for running costs and communal charges.
