Bright two-bedroom penthouse with secure parking and long lease — chain free.
Penthouse apartment with abundant natural light from two large skylights
Light-filled penthouse living in Westbourne House, set within a well-kept red-brick development close to Congleton town centre. The principal lounge/diner benefits from a Juliet balcony and a mezzanine overlook with two large skylights, creating a bright, airy reception that suits everyday living and occasional entertaining. The modern fitted kitchen has integrated appliances, and there’s plentiful built-in and loft storage. The layout includes two double bedrooms, two bathrooms plus a guest WC — practical for sharers or small families.
Practical conveniences are strong: allocated parking in a secure gated car park, double glazing throughout, and a long lease (circa 976 years) offer security of tenure. The building and communal grounds are attractively maintained, set around a gated courtyard in a low-crime, affluent neighbourhood. The property is offered chain free and may appeal to first-time buyers seeking a low-maintenance town-centre home or investors — it is currently sold with a tenant in situ.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold apartment with an annual ground rent of £150 and electric main heating, which can be more costly than gas alternatives. There’s no private garden — outside space is limited to the Juliet balcony and communal grounds. The apartment is average to slightly-above-average in size for a two-bed penthouse (approx. 851 sq ft) and dates from the early 2000s, so it presents as well-maintained with modern fittings but not in need of immediate major works.
Overall this is a bright, practical penthouse offering secure parking, generous storage and a standout mezzanine skylight feature. It suits buyers wanting a convenient town location with low upkeep, or investors looking for a centrally located, easy-to-manage rental asset.
