Set on picturesque St Peters Street, this first-floor period apartment blends original character with practical modern upgrades. High ceilings, bay windows and original floorboards give the main living space a bright, airy feel; the open-plan layout works well for relaxed living or entertaining. Two double bedrooms share a convenient Jack-and-Jill bathroom, making the apartment functional for sharers or small families.
The location is a primary selling point. You are steps from the city centre amenities and a short walk to the Thameslink station for fast commuter journeys. The building benefits from double glazing installed after 2002 and gas central heating, while a sizable communal garden provides pleasant outdoor space without private garden maintenance.
This is a leasehold property with 89 years remaining; service charge and ground rent apply and should be factored into running costs. The building’s solid brick construction means there is little cavity insulation as built, so buyers considering energy upgrades should allow for potential improvements. Crime statistics for the immediate area are higher than average — a factual point to weigh alongside the convenience of central location.
Overall, the apartment suits first-time buyers or professionals seeking a centrally located, characterful home with good natural light and straightforward commute links. The flat is well presented but offers scope for modest cosmetic updates and energy-efficiency improvements.
