S outhwell is a beautiful town that is just full of character. With Southwell Minster at its heart, the location is full of history and this, together with the area's interesting architecture and individual shops makes it popular with visitors. Letting agent, Jillings Estates, has a duplex apartment currently available to let in the heart of the town.

The apartment, being marketed from the agency's new Southwell branch, has views of the Minster as well as a comfortable interior.

Oliver Jillings said: "The apartment has some lovely period features.

"It is within a Grade II listed Georgian building that is of 'special historical interest'.

"It is even said to have been the building in which the first TV in the whole of Southwell found its home."

He added: "This is a two double-bedroom duplex apartment.

"It has an unusually large lounge as well as two ample sized bedrooms and beamed ceilings."

There's a main entrance hall to the building and a private entrance to the apartment.

In the kitchen you'll find cream Shaker-style units as well as a range of chrome appliances.

The kitchen has practical laminate flooring and there is a beam to the ceiling.

Features of the lounge also include a beam to the ceiling but in here there are also sash windows and a black cast iron fireplace.

In the bathroom there is a classic white suite with matching tilework.

The bathroom includes a bath with chrome shower above, a pedestal wash hand basin and a WC.

Both bedrooms are double but bedroom one is a particularly good size.

Oliver said: "This large double bedroom has two sash windows to the front while there is also a fitted wardrobe in the room.

"Bedroom two has views over towards Southwell Minster.

"This is a great apartment and really is worth a look first hand."

Further attractions of the area appeal to most interests.

There's the popular Reg Taylor's Garden Centre and Swan Sanctuary, Southwell Racecourse and the National Trust's Workhouse among others.

There are also good vehicle access routes to Nottingham, Newark and the wide road network.

Oliver said: "We have expanded our services into Southwell and the surrounding villages and are actively looking for clients and properties in this locality.

"We are delighted to be acting on behalf of a client who is able to offer such a historic property right in the heart of this beautiful market town.

"The individual and unique nature of the apartment appeals to both myself and prospective tenants. We are finding a big uplift in demand for rental properties in this part of the world."
