Set within the Grade II listed Whitehayes House, this exceptional split-level apartment combines generous proportions with genuine period character. With over 1,550 sq ft and circa 3.5m high ceilings, the reception spaces feel bright and grand; bay windows, sash features and a working log burner give an immediate sense of historic quality.
The layout suits those who want roomy, low-maintenance living without losing outdoor space. Both double bedrooms are on the lower ground floor and have en-suite bathrooms; the principal bedroom opens directly onto a south-facing, split-level garden with mature planting and a feature pond. Two allocated off-street parking spaces and a 2018 combi boiler add practical convenience.
Ownership comes with share of freehold and an extremely long lease (circa 980 years), which offers long-term security. However, buyers should note this is a Listed building: alterations are often restricted and may require consent. The property also has an annual service charge (approx. £3,120) and higher council tax, which are important running costs to budget for.
For downsizers or buyers seeking a characterful, spacious home near local amenities, this apartment provides a rare combination of private garden, generous internal space and period charm. It’s best for those who appreciate historic detail and are comfortable living in a listed building with associated conservation responsibilities.
