Set within a striking historic former chapel, this two-bedroom ground-floor apartment combines period character with practical living space. High ceilings, arched stone windows and generous room proportions give a strong sense of place and light, while the long lease (978 years) removes a common obstacle for leasehold buyers.
The apartment sits in attractive communal grounds with off-street parking and CCTV, and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for commuters and home workers. The electric storage heating and double glazing provide basic thermal comfort but walls are likely uninsulated, so heating costs may be higher than modern-built homes.
Buyers should note the property is listed (historic building status) which preserves original features but will restrict alterations and could complicate permissions or repairs. The surrounding area records very high crime and significant deprivation, which may affect resale or rental prospects and could be a concern for some purchasers.
Overall this is a character-rich, well-located apartment suited to first-time buyers or investors who value period detail and commuter access, and who are prepared to accept the listed-building constraints and local area issues.
