Comfortable, low-maintenance one-bedroom apartment on the first floor of a converted period building. The open-plan living area with a modern kitchen creates a bright, sociable space while a double bedroom and bathroom complete the accommodation. Loft access adds useful storage and the property includes a garage plus allocated parking — a rare practical benefit for this size of flat.
This apartment suits someone downsizing who values convenience and easy upkeep. Gas central heating, double glazing and a long lease (999 years from 2008) minimise long-term ownership concerns. The communal garden and communal parking offer outside space without the burden of sole maintenance.
Be aware this is a compact home (approx. 347 sq ft) so layouts are best for single occupancy or couples with modest storage needs. Broadband speeds in the area are reported slow, and the building’s cavity walls are assumed uninsulated — upgrading insulation or windows could improve comfort and energy costs. Service charge is £55 per month with a small ground rent of £150 per year.
