Set within an attractive period building on a quiet, sought-after street, this extremely large two-bedroom apartment offers generous proportions and classic Victorian character. High ceilings, original features and large windows create bright, airy rooms, while a stylish open-plan living room flows into a kitchen/breakfast area with hill views. The property comes with a garage and a garden, adding practicality and outdoor space.
A private staircase leads to an extensive loft room with a roof light — a genuine opportunity for conversion subject to planning, which would create substantial extra accommodation or a home office. The building is well maintained and the sale includes a share of the freehold with a very long lease (931 years), offering long-term security.
Practical matters to note: the property has solid brick walls (no built-in insulation) and secondary glazing, with an EPC rating of C; energy improvements are possible but may be needed. There is one bathroom only and an average service charge of £1,688 per year. Loft conversion requires planning permission (not yet applied for).
This home suits buyers wanting a spacious period property near fast rail links to London — families who value size and local schools, or investors seeking a character apartment with clear potential to increase value through sympathetic upgrading and loft conversion.
