2 bedroom flat in Old School Square, uttoxeter, East Staffordshire (2 bed)

Description

This is a real, lived-in flat converted from an old schoolhouse — over 120 years old, so it has some character. The main living area has a double-height ceiling and big period windows that let in loads of light. It’s the heart of the place, calm and cozy, perfect if you’re looking for a quiet spot to unwind.

The two bedrooms are up on a mezzanine level, with views out over the living room — and you can pull the blinds to keep the light out if you want. The flat’s currently set up as two bedrooms, but it could easily be changed to one with a workspace, which might work better for a couple or someone working from home.

The kitchen is small but tidy and functional. The flat comes either furnished or unfurnished — you pick what suits you best. Some of the furniture has been moved since the last tenant left, so it’s not exactly as it was in the photos.

I’m not sure how much of the original layout is still there, but it’s definitely not a blank slate. It’s on the first floor — you can go up the stairs or take the lift. The building’s inside a gated complex, which gives a nice sense of privacy.

It’s about a 7-minute walk to the local train station and a 15-minute walk to the main line. The Thames and West India Quay are just 10 minutes away, and there’s a big food court and a couple of restaurants nearby. Bartlett Park is only 3 minutes away — has a great cafe — and Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park is a peaceful wooded area with flowers in spring, about a 10-15 minute walk.

I’ve had it set up both ways — furnished or not — so you can decide what you need. Available from 20 September. I’m happy to show it around — I’ve already done a few viewings and can arrange a time that works for you.

It’s £9 — just to be clear, that’s the price. No agent fees, no hidden charges. If you’re interested, just give me a call or text. I’ll get back to you.

Let me know if you’d like to see it — I’ve got a few spots open and I’m happy to chat.
