Vernon House, Balance Street, Uttoxeter

Vernon House presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a beautifully converted ground-floor apartment within an attractive period building that has been thoughtfully transformed into a range of quality homes. This particular apartment is especially well suited to an elderly resident seeking convenience and accessibility, a first-time buyer looking for an easy and secure first step onto the property ladder, or a buy-to-let investor in search of a strong, low-maintenance addition to their portfolio.

The apartment has recently undergone a programme of redecoration and benefits from newly fitted carpets throughout, offering a fresh, welcoming interior that allows any purchaser to move straight in with complete ease and confidence. The property is offered for sale with no onward chain, ensuring a smooth and uncomplicated transaction.

Occupants will further appreciate the practical advantages of the building, which enjoys ample off-road parking to the rear—an invaluable feature so close to the centre of town. Its superb location places the property just a short, level stroll from local shops, amenities and public transport links, making this an appealing and highly convenient home for a wide range of buyers.

Hallway - The property opens into a welcoming hallway fitted with a spoke-along electrical consumer unit and an intercom telephone system. A built-in airing cupboard houses the hot water tank and offers useful high-level shelving. From here, internal doors provide access to the main living areas.

Kitchen - The kitchen benefits from a sash-glazed window to the side and is equipped with a coordinated range of base and eye-level cupboards and drawers. Granite-effect roll-top work surfaces and complementary tiled flooring and wall coverings add style and practicality. Integrated appliances include an electric oven, four-ring electric hob, extractor fan and a stainless-steel sink with drainer and mixer tap. The room also includes an electric storage heater and provides space for freestanding white goods.

Lounge - The lounge enjoys a sash-glazed window to the front elevation, complete with built-in shutter blinds that complement the room’s character. The space includes a TV aerial point, fibre-internet connection and an electric storage heater.

Bedroom - The bedroom features two front-facing glazed sash windows, each fitted with built-in shutter blinds. A TV aerial point and an electric storage heater further enhance the comfort and practicality of this well-proportioned room.

Shower Room - The shower room is fitted with a modern three-piece suite consisting of a low-level WC, a wash-hand basin with mixer tap and a generous shower cubicle with electric shower, sliding glass screen and tiled wall coverings. An extractor fan, chrome heated towel radiator and electric wall heater complete this contemporary space.

Leasehold Information - The property benefits from a resident-owned freehold structure, with the freehold held by a management company owned collectively by the flat owners—offering greater control and transparency than a traditional leasehold arrangement. The lease has approximately 86 years remaining, with a token ground rent of just £1 per year and a modest monthly management fee of £67.
