Summary - Flat 4, 2 Fishergate Hill, PRESTON PR1 8QU
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free one-bedroom in Grade II listed terrace, ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Grade II listed Georgian apartment with character features
This one-bedroom apartment occupies a characterful first-floor position in a Grade II listed Georgian terrace, a short walk from Preston city centre and the station. The interior has been newly renovated and presents as light and spacious, with high ceilings, period mouldings and a modern bathroom — ready to move into for a first-time buyer or let immediately for investors.
Practical details are strong: a very long lease (982 years), chain free sale, council tax band A and an average-sized 496 sq ft layout. Communal areas retain period character; there’s a paved rear courtyard and street-parking permits are available. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent for working professionals and students.
Notable considerations are factual and important. The building’s listed status may restrict alteration options and require specific consents. Heating is by electric room heaters (no communal gas), walls are likely uninsulated solid brick, and the EPC is rated D. Service charge (£2,000pa) and ground rent (£150pa) are material ongoing costs to factor into budgets. The local area records very high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which may affect long-term capital growth or tenant demand for some buyers.
Overall, this property offers immediate, character-filled accommodation with strong rental or entry-level purchase potential, but it suits buyers who accept listed-building constraints, electric heating, and higher service charges. First-time buyers seeking a central, low-maintenance starter home or investors wanting a city-centre let should view with these trade-offs in mind.
