Set within a landmark Grade II listed villa in Montpellier, this ground-floor one-bedroom apartment blends period charm with contemporary convenience. The apartment offers generous proportions for its type—approximately 731 sq ft—with a c.21ft open-plan kitchen/dining/living room, full-length sash windows, high ceilings and bespoke shutters that flood the space with light.
Practical benefits include an allocated off-street parking space, a southwest-facing communal garden and no onward chain, making for a straightforward purchase. The bedroom has a built-in wardrobe and utility cupboard, with a modern shower room completing the accommodation. The long lease (244 years remaining) provides security for longer-term ownership.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold and Grade II listed: permissions and repairs may be subject to restrictions and listed-building processes. Ongoing costs include an annual service charge (£1,867.08), ground rent (£300 pa) and building insurance (£756 pa). These communal charges fund maintenance of the building and grounds but will be a continuing cost.
This apartment suits someone seeking a low-stairs, characterful home in a premier central location close to Montpellier’s shops, restaurants and parks. It will particularly appeal to downsizers or professionals who value centrality, historic features and a ready-to-move-in finish, provided they accept the constraints and costs of listed, leasehold ownership.
