Set on the third-floor mezzanine of a Grade II listed sandstone building, this compact two-bedroom flat offers a straightforward city-centre starter home or rental let. The open-plan lounge/kitchen and upstairs bedrooms make efficient use of the 431 sq ft, and original sash windows lend period character and natural light. A secure shared entrance, lift access and no onward chain simplify moving in or letting quickly.
Buyers should be aware this is a leasehold property within a listed building — the listed status can complicate alterations and may affect insurance and maintenance costs. The apartment uses electric room heaters (no central gas), and the small overall size limits storage and living space. Original windows and period fabric may require ongoing upkeep.
The location sits in a lively, well-served city-centre neighbourhood with excellent transport links, fast broadband and many amenities on the doorstep, making it attractive to first-time buyers and investors targeting student or young-professional lets. Crime levels in the immediate area are recorded as high, so purchasers should consider security requirements and insurance implications.
Overall this is a low-maintenance, characterful central flat that suits someone prioritising location and buy-to-let potential or an affordable first purchase, provided they accept leasehold constraints, listed-building limitations and electric heating.
