Situated in the heart of Mistley and within walking distance of local amenities including the Quay and Mistley railway station. This third floor apartment is located in a Grade II listed former maltings, offers spacious accommodation comprising open plan living / kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom. The apartment also benefits from an allocated parking space, a communal indoor swimming pool and communal gymnasium.
Tucked away on the third floor of Free Rodwell House, this apartment offers a rare chance to own a piece of Mistley’s historic character. The building itself, a distinguished Grade II listed landmark, stands as part of the village’s architectural heritage, and this particular apartment reflects that spirit with a thoughtful balance of old and new.
Inside, exposed brickwork adds texture and warmth to both the living area and the double bedroom, offering an immediate sense of individuality. The open-plan layout of the kitchen and living space makes excellent use of the natural light, creating a fluid, welcoming environment that feels both practical and relaxed. It’s a space that suits quiet evenings and easy mornings just as well as time spent with company.
The bedroom is generously proportioned, offering a calm retreat set back from the main living area. Its scale, combined with the original brick, lends a quiet confidence to the space, echoing the building’s character without overwhelming it.
Beyond the apartment itself, Free Rodwell House offers a standard of shared amenities rarely found in village settings. Residents enjoy full access to an indoor swimming pool and a well-equipped gym, as well as the convenience of on-site parking. These features, combined with the building’s secure setting, help create a sense of comfort and community.
The location in Mistley places everything within easy reach—river walks, nearby cafes, and connections further afield—while still allowing for a sense of quiet and privacy. It’s a setting that feels removed from the rush but never out of touch.
