This two-bedroom flat in the heart of Sedgley was previously a workhouse and a police station - now you can buy it

An iconic building in the heart of Sedgley, the former Old Police Station has been transformed into nine contemporary apartments that blend timeless character with modern luxury.

Each two-bedroom apartment has been furbished to a high standard featuring open-plan living areas with integrated kitchens, spacious bedrooms, modern bathrooms and private courtyard access and parking.

Property website Zoopla shows a two-bed flat for sale for offers from £229,950 on Vicar Street, Sedgley.

The building has a rich and varied past, reflecting the evolving needs of the local community over centuries.

Originally constructed in the mid-1700s, the building first served as Sedgley’s village workhouse, providing shelter and labour for the poor.

In the early 1860s, the building was repurposed into a police station, complete with holding cells and a courtroom. A lease agreement dated October 11,1864, formalised its use by county authorities, who rented it for £60 a year.

For over 100 years, the station played a central role in local law enforcement and later became part of the West Midlands Police network, continuing to serve the community well into the modern era.

Now, the new flats pay tribute to the 'boys in blue' that walked the beat before them, with stylish blue-and-white décor throughout the apartments.

The spacious open-plan kitchen/living area provides residents with the opportunity to put their own unique spin on things, while the large windows ensure the room is well lit throughout the day.

A fully-fitted, modern bathroom is another impressive feature  of the apartments, completed with the striking blue door that matches the rest of the flat and makes reference to the building's former life as a police station.

Finally, the bedrooms share a lot of positives with the living area; well lit with large windows, spacious and clean looking with plenty of scope for personalisation.
