Features and description
Stylish and contemporary two bed loft style apartment within a converted Victorian School building. The property has a fantastic open plan living kitchen room with fitted log burner, mezzanine floor and two allocated parking spaces.
This impressive building formed part of the local school being converted in 2007 to create a superb collection of loft, industrial style apartments normally seen within larger city environments. Many of the original features have been kept to afford a unique yet stylish creative space for someone looking to be within a central town position. The building is within a short level walk of the Victorian Pannier Market with a collection of Artisan independent shops. Also being very convenient for the town's Comprehensive College off Abbotsham Road and Junior/Infants School off Clovelly Road. The main shopping centre for Bideford and its picturesque quayside is within quarter mile or so. The Affinity shopping Outlet, Asda Supermarket, Lidl’s, Aldi and other commercial premises are located on the outskirts of town just over half a mile away.
SERVICES: Mains water, electric and drainage. Single glazed windows. Service and maintenance charges come to approx. £1500.00 per annum with the ground rent being £180.00 - Crown property maintenance are used to look after the property.
TENURE: Leasehold with the balance of a 999 year old lease remaining. The current residences of the building are in the process of buying the freehold from the current freeholder which would remove the ground rent payment.
