Set within an attractive Grade II listed Victorian building, this one-bedroom split-level apartment combines period character with modern conversion finishes. The open-plan 16' kitchen/dining/living area benefits from built-in appliances, high ceilings and large sash windows that bring abundant natural light. The double bedroom and luxury shower room complete a compact, well-appointed home suitable for single buyers or couples.
Practical details support confident purchase: a long 150-year lease and a modest annual service charge of £725.60. Electric radiator heating provides straightforward temperature control, and the conversion retains original architectural features such as decorative brickwork and high ceilings. A 5% deposit option is available, which may appeal to buyers seeking an accessible route onto the property ladder.
Buyers should note material drawbacks honestly: the building's listed status can complicate alterations and repairs, and the property is in a very deprived area with very high local crime rates. The apartment has no private outdoor space and relies on electric heating, which may mean higher running costs for some purchasers. An internal viewing is recommended to assess layout, finish and suitability for lifestyle or rental use.
Overall this home offers period charm and a contemporary finish in a central town-centre location, priced for first-time buyers or investors comfortable with urban living and the responsibilities that come with a listed property.
