<p><strong>GUIDE PRICE £200,000 to £210,000</strong><br/><br/><br/>Positioned at the very top of the distinctive Maltings Wharf building in the heart of Manningtree, this apartment occupies one of the most recognisable structures along the town’s waterfront skyline. The building’s striking octagonal design creates an unusual and memorable interior layout, while its elevated position allows light to pour in from multiple directions and offers constant reminders of the River Stour just beyond the rooftops.<br/></p><p>The apartment opens into a central hallway that naturally distributes access to each room, creating a practical and easy-to-navigate layout. From here the home unfolds around the geometry of the building itself, where angled walls and multiple windows give the living spaces a sense of openness rarely found in more conventional flats.</p><p>The main reception room sits at the heart of the home and immediately benefits from the building’s architecture. Windows on several aspects draw in daylight throughout the day while framing views across Manningtree’s historic rooftops, the High Street below and glimpses of the estuary beyond. The space itself is generous and adaptable, comfortably accommodating both seating and dining areas, while the continuous herringbone flooring running through the living areas adds warmth and visual cohesion.</p><p>The kitchen is positioned just off the reception space and wraps neatly around three walls. A central window above the sink overlooks Manningtree’s market square, bringing the activity of the town centre into view while filling the room with natural light. Painted cabinetry provides extensive storage and worktop space, making the room both functional and visually distinctive.</p><p><br/>Three bedrooms extend from the hallway, each offering slightly different outlooks across the surrounding townscape. The principal bedroom enjoys the privacy of its own en-suite shower room, creating a comfortable and self-contained retreat within the apartment. The second bedroom is particularly generous in scale and benefits from dual windows and built-in wardrobe storage running across one wall. The third room is currently arranged as a study and guest room, demonstrating the flexibility of the layout for home working or occasional accommodation.</p><p>Completing the internal accommodation is a family bathroom positioned conveniently off the hallway, featuring a bath with shower above and a window bringing natural light into the space.</p><p><br/>Beyond the apartment itself, the building forms part of the well-known Maltings Wharf development, where residents benefit from a share of the freehold through The Old Maltings management company. The property also enjoys the practical advantage of two allocated parking spaces within the development, a valuable feature given the central location.</p><p><br/>Living here places everything Manningtree is known for within easy reach. Independent shops, cafés, restaurants and the town’s characterful High Street sit immediately outside, while the riverfront walks along the Stour Estuary are only moments away. Manningtree railway station is also within walking distance, offering direct services to London Liverpool Street in around an hour, making the location equally attractive for commuters and those seeking a coastal-edge lifestyle with excellent connectivity.</p><p>Altogether, this is a home defined by its architecture, position and outlook. Properties within the Maltings Wharf building are rarely conventional, and this top-floor apartment makes full use of the building’s distinctive design to create a bright, characterful living environment in the very centre of Manningtree.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Tenure:</strong> Share of freehold<br/><strong>Service Charge:</strong> £322 per month<br/><strong>Ground Rent:</strong> £180 per year<br/><strong>Lease Length:</strong> Approximately 960 years</p><br/>EPC Rating: C
