Description

💬"It was the history that made me buy this apartment. You feel it as soon as you walk up to the building. The beautiful brickwork, arched windows and high ceilings give it a character you just won't find in a new build. My tenants have loved living here over the years and now it's time for someone new to enjoy it."

-The Owner🖤
________________________________

This is a rare chance to rent a piece of Saffron Walden's history. The Spike was built in 1835 to 1836 as the town's Union Workhouse and later became St James' Hospital and then the Saffron Walden Community Hospital. In the late 1990s it was sympathetically converted into homes, and today it is a handsome Grade II Listed building. This well presented ground floor apartment keeps that character while offering light, well proportioned accommodation: a hallway, a generous living room, kitchen, a double bedroom with built in wardrobe and a bathroom with bath and shower, with views over the well kept communal gardens. Outside there is an allocated parking space plus visitor parking, and the apartment will be fully redecorated.
