Judge’s Lodgings is a Georgian house within its own walled and landscaped grounds close to Sadler Street and within a short walk of the Cathedral and Market Place. The house is Grade II Listed and has been adapted to provide individual homes. The main entrance hall, staircase and sitting area (on the half landing)  are communal areas.

 

No. 6 has its own front door approached directly from the main reception hall of the building.  The apartment was completed refurbished about eight years ago and since that time has only been used four or five times each year mainly for long weekends and holidays by the current owners.  In their ownership it has not been lived in nor rented out.  Accordingly it is in the same immaculate condition as when it was first renovated.  

 

Improvement works included:

 

The installation of new ceilings and new Georgian style architraves and ceiling decoration in the centre of each room with imposing high ceilings.

 

The provision of very thick insulation in the ceiling void throughout the entire apartment to create a quiet environment and also retain heating during cold winters (an example of the type of insulation material used can be found in the garage).

 

The entire plumbing and pipe work system was replaced with the provision of new radiators and a new combi boiler  to provide instant hot water at reduced costs (and to maximise space).  

 

Complete redecoration and the fitting of  specially commissioned stained glass windows over the doors. 

 

The fitting of new good quality carpets. 

 

The installation of a new high quality kitchen and new shower room suite.

 

The original fireplace and chimney were relocated and reinstated and a powerful new Jet Master gas fire installed.  This heats the apartment in a matter of minutes.  A new Georgian style fire surround was also installed to complement the gas fire.  

 

The accommodation has gas central heating with radiators and includes HALL with a walk-in cloaks cupboard.  SITTING ROOM with a large west facing bay window overlooking the garden, fireplace with Jet Master gas fire and door into the KITCHEN well fitted with recessed lighting, kitchen units including floor and wall cupboards, two bowl sink unit, tiled splash backs, double oven with gas hob and extractor above, spacing and plumbing for washing machine, integral fridge and freezer.  BEDROOM ONE east facing with fitted wardrobes.  BEDROOM TWO west facing with fitted wardrobes.  SHOWER ROOM with wall tiling, hand basin with mirror above, shaver point, extractor fan, wc and large tiled shower cubicle. 

 

A drive leads into Judges Lodgings and continues to a block of garages.  Number 6 is well situated with parking places in front of it.  

 

There are attractive gardens in front of the house and at the rear further well landscaped mature gardens.  All the apartments have individual garden areas although they are maintained communally.  

 

The property is leasehold with the freehold being held by a management company, which is wholly owned by the apartment owners.  This enables the leaseholders to control their leases and the management of the buildings, the grounds and costs.
