Stylish and characterful two bedroom apartment with private parking and access to charming communal gardens, set within the prestigious Grade II listed former Town Hall dating back to 1854 - a unique and low-maintenance home perfect for first-time buyers, and downsizers seeking period charm.

Nestled within the impressive stone-built former Town Hall, this distinctive ground floor apartment seamlessly blends timeless architectural features with tasteful modern touches. Stepping through the courtyard entrance and into the traditional front door, you're welcomed into a private vestibule with cloaks storage and elegant internal glazing that leads into the heart of the home. The kitchen is both stylish and practical, offering white cabinetry with grey tiled splashbacks, integrated oven, microwave, gas hob and dishwasher, as well as space to dine. A useful WC/utility room is tucked neatly off this space for added convenience.

Flowing from the kitchen, the generous lounge exudes grandeur, framed by a prominent bay window that fills the room with natural light and highlights the character fireplace and ornate coving. Both bedrooms offer flexibility, with the principal bedroom enjoying tranquil rear views over the beautifully maintained communal gardens, while the second room lends itself perfectly as a guest space or dressing room. The hotel-style bathroom is an indulgent feature, accessed via a walk-in wardrobe and boasting a sleek walk-in shower with rainfall head, tiled surround, vanity basin and WC. An additional large storage cupboard adds further practicality.

Externally, the home benefits from a south-facing shared garden with a patio and communal shed, as well as a private parking space right outside the door - all within a charming and historic setting. With its low maintenance lifestyle, striking period architecture and prime location, this is a truly special opportunity.

Shotley Bridge village is a sought-after residential area and has a charming range of local shops and amenities including a primary school (infant and junior schools), a fantastic tennis and cricket club. Consett town centre is 1.5 miles away and provides a wider range of shops, supermarkets and sporting facilities. There are several popular countrywide walks and cycle routes, including along the River Derwent and further into neighbouring Northumberland. It is well positioned for access to Newcastle and Durham, both within 16 miles, making it an excellent location from which to commute.

The owner of this property was formerly the freeholder of the building, with the freehold having since been transferred and now held by Shotley Bridge Old Town Hall Limited. We are currently awaiting the final details of the lease terms, and prospective purchasers should note that the ongoing management of the building will be taken over by Kingston.
