About
Tenure: Leasehold To make an enquiry please click the email agent or request viewing button on the listing, this will allow us to respond to you as quickly as possible Littleport's former Lloyds Bank is not the most obvious place to find your next home but then, the most interesting places to live rarely are.
This ground floor apartment, part of a sensitive conversion of the town's handsome thatched former bank building on Globe Lane, offers a quality of space, character and history that a purpose-built flat simply cannot manufacture.
The apartment has been freshly redecorated and refitted throughout prior to this let, and the combination of new flooring, newly fitted bathroom and freshened décor throughout means it arrives in genuinely excellent condition.
What makes it stand out, however, is not the refurbishment, it's what was already there.
The original leaded light windows appear throughout the property, from the open plan living space through to the bedroom, casting a beautiful quality of light into every room and providing a visual connection to the building's heritage that no amount of modern specification can replicate.
The ceiling heights are generous, the rooms are notably well proportioned, and the sense of space throughout is far removed from what a conventional one bedroom flat typically offers.
The open plan sitting room, dining area and kitchen is a genuinely impressive principal living space; large, light and comfortable, with the original wooden fireplace surround and brass inset providing a focal point that gives the room warmth and character in equal measure.
The kitchen is fitted in a classic sage shaker style with dark worktops, oven, hob, fridge, freezer and extractor, and sits naturally within the open plan space without dominating it.
The bedroom is a particularly generous king-sized room with dual aspect leaded windows creating a light, calm and notably characterful sleeping space.
The newly fitted bathroom is clean and well specified throughout, full height white tiling, a new white suite with shower over bath, slate-effect flooring and a mirrored cabinet.
The entrance hall with airing and utility cupboards provides useful storage, the property benefits from secondary double glazing to the leaded light windows throughout, a shared garden to the rear and one parking space complete the package.
Littleport is a well-served Fenland town with a good range of everyday amenities; shops, takeaways, pubs and local services all within easy reach of Globe Lane.
The railway station is within walking distance and provides direct services through Ely, where the mainline connections place London King's Cross at around seventy minutes and Cambridge under twenty minutes on a fast service.
Ely itself is just three miles south, close enough for a regular trip to the market, the riverside, or the city's independent food and drink scene, and far enough away that Littleport retains its own distinct character and community.
For a professional, a couple, or anyone who values character and space over the predictability of a modern conversion, this is a property that genuinely rewards a viewing.
