A rare opportunity has arisen to purchase a spacious two-bedroom, first floor, split-level apartment on Saxmundham High Street, just a stone’s throw from the station and local amenities. The property is one of two apartments in this Grade II listed building and boasts beautiful character features including an original fireplace and exposed beams and studwork throughout.
The property has recently had a pause from the market to undergo a number of improvement works costing in excess of £8,000.
All windows throughout the property have been upgraded to be fully draught proofed, with each sash windows cords renewed. A number of windows have had frame reworks, as well as new fasteners to ensure their preservation and further longevity. The works have resulted in highly noticeable and significant improvements to both a reduction in noise and a retention of warmth throughout the property. The warranty for these works (10 years) belongs to the building, thus will be passed onto the new owner(s) in the eventuality of a successful sale.
Further, the bathroom has had a complete renovation and has been finished to an exceptional quality with brand new lighting, flooring, wall tiles, and painting; and includes a fully refitted three-piece suite.
The property is now vacant and ready to be occupied by a new owner(s). It is being sold with no onward chain and would make an ideal investment / first time purchase (note that the current rent is £900 PCM).
The property is equipped with electric heating, access to a communal garden, and has parking for one vehicle.
The current freeholder has expressed an interest in selling the freehold which any new purchaser could choose to do once they are the legal occupier.
The first floor comprises an entrance hall, a dual aspect living room (with original fireplace), a three-piece bathroom and a fitted kitchen. The second floor comprises a landing which opens to two charming double bedrooms. The design of the property has also been optimised to provide several ample storage spaces, making for practical and comfortable living. As agents, we recommend the earliest possible internal viewing to appreciate the size of the accommodation on offer.
