Renovated two-bedroom first-floor apartment with private garden and long lease.
Newly renovated throughout to a high contemporary standard
This beautifully renovated first-floor apartment sits in a sympathetic conversion of a Georgian stone building in the village of Westwells/Neston, on the edge of Corsham. High ceilings, engineered oak flooring and a feature stone fireplace with a contemporary wood-burning stove retain period character while the kitchen and shower room are newly fitted to a high standard. Two double bedrooms and an open living/dining room provide comfortable, well-proportioned accommodation across about 81 sq m (872 sq ft).
Practical strengths include a new 999-year lease with share of freehold, no onward chain and modern integrated kitchen appliances. The apartment benefits from dual south- and west-facing aspects in the living room, plenty of natural light, an enclosed private rear garden and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal — useful for commuting or home-working. Council Tax is in a low band and the property sits in a very low-crime, affluent rural area with good local primary schooling and nearby transport links to Bath and Chippenham.
Buyers should note the building is Grade II listed; that status preserves charm but may restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance or planning. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the walls are likely uninsulated sandstone/limestone, which affects running costs compared with modern insulated properties. Secondary glazing is fitted rather than full replacement double glazing.
Overall this apartment will suit buyers seeking a character-filled, low-maintenance home with modern finishes and a long lease. It is particularly well matched to first-time buyers or downsizers who value village life, good local schools and straightforward access to larger centres; those wanting to undertake major structural or layout changes should factor in listed-building constraints.
