Set within a converted early-20th-century printworks, this two-bedroom apartment offers city-centre living with characterful high ceilings and large industrial windows. The open-plan kitchen/lounge is bright and practical, fitted with white goods and laminate flooring, creating an easy-care home or rental unit. A lift serves the second-floor entrance lobby for straightforward access.
The layout includes a double main bedroom with direct bathroom access, a single second bedroom suitable for guests or a home office, and a four-piece bathroom with bath and separate shower. The long lease (979 years) gives ownership security; the modern façade and communal areas suit buyers seeking a low-maintenance urban base.
Practical considerations: the property sits in a lively, student-centred neighbourhood with strong rental demand but a very high local crime rate. Service charges average £1,800 annually and broadband speeds are average; these factors affect running costs and appeal. Overall, this flat suits first-time buyers wanting an affordable city-centre home or investors targeting student and young-professional lets, provided they factor in service costs and local safety considerations.
