Generous two-bedroom conversion with balcony, parking and striking period features.
Very large apartment — c.1509 sq ft with high ceilings and mezzanine layout
Grade II listed conversion — historic features, may restrict alterations
Leasehold with 189 years remaining; peppercorn ground rent noted
Service charge circa £2,490.20 pa — factor into ownership costs
Allocated off-street parking for one vehicle; private balcony included
Three bathrooms (two en-suites) — good for sharers or guests
No private garden; town-centre location with limited external amenity
Very high local crime rate — location consideration for some buyers
Set within a striking Grade II listed corner building on Manor Road, this two-double-bedroom apartment combines generous internal space with strong period character. High ceilings, original architectural details and a mezzanine-style layout create an impressive, light-filled living environment. The open-plan reception and contemporary fittings make it ready to move into while still offering scope to personalise.
Practical benefits include an allocated off-street parking space, a private balcony and three bathrooms (two en-suites), useful for sharers or guests. The long lease (189 years) and peppercorn ground rent reduce long-term tenure risk. The apartment’s central location delivers immediate access to shops, cafés, transport links and riverside walks.
Buyers should note important negatives: the building’s Grade II listed status may restrict external changes and can complicate maintenance or conversions. The property sits in a high-crime area and has no private garden; communal maintenance and the service charge (approx. £2,490.20 pa) will affect running costs. Broadband speeds are average despite excellent mobile signal.
This home will suit buyers seeking a distinctive town-centre apartment with substantial living space and period impact — ideal for professionals, sharers or investors who value location and character but who accept the listed-building constraints and communal costs.
