## Description

Located in the heart of Central Buxton, this striking second-floor flat offers a premium tenure structure: **a Leasehold title with a 33% Share of the Freehold**. This arrangement provides the security and collective control of a one-third interest in the building’s management, perfectly complementing a home that blends modern comfort with timeless elegance. The interior is defined by its spaciousness and far-reaching views from every window, featuring two generous reception rooms, a well-appointed kitchen, and three bedrooms—including a charming loft retreat. A large family bathroom completes the layout, ensuring a practical yet luxurious living experience for families or those seeking a peaceful urban sanctuary.

The exterior of the property is equally impressive, centred around a large communal garden that serves as a verdant oasis with manicured lawns and mature trees. Residents can enjoy a dedicated patio area for quiet contemplation, as well as the convenience of a shared tarmac driveway with parking for a single vehicle (Permission for an EV Charging Point can be obtained). With the added peace of mind provided by a **recent Fire Safety Certificate**, this property represents a rare opportunity to secure a significant stake in a period building while enjoying the natural beauty and vibrant amenities of Buxton.
