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. ________________________________ 📝Details📝 🟢 Communal entrance approached across the communal lawn 🟢 Private hallway with built in storage cupboards 🟢Well proportioned living room with a pair of windows to the gardens 🟢Fitted kitchen with base and eye level units and an electric hob and oven 🟢Space for a fridge freezer and washing machine 🟢Double bedroom with built in wardrobe 🟢Bathroom with paneled bath and shower over, WC and basin 🟢Views over the communal gardens from every room 🟢Allocated parking space plus visitor parking __________________________________________ 🔒Security Deposit🔒 £1,153.00 (Cash Deposit) Holding Deposit £230.00 - Payable once offer accepted - Failing references may result in the holding deposit being forfeit. __________________________________________ 🚫References🚫 In order to proceed with a tenancy, you must meet the following criteria - Income 30 x the monthly rent (£30,500 annually) - 6-12 months verified accounts (if Self Employed) - No Adverse Credit (CCJ/IVA's etc) - Right to Rent (Including Sharecode if required) __________________________________________ 👍Follow @Blacksheepresidential on Instagram and Facebook to see properties before anyone else!
