Set within an attractive Edwardian red-brick terrace, this well-presented one-bedroom apartment delivers period character and modern convenience across a compact 477 sq ft layout. High ceilings, a bay sash window and large double-glazed windows flood the open-plan kitchen/reception with light, while contemporary fittings and integrated appliances keep day-to-day living simple and stylish. A south-west facing communal garden provides outdoor space for relaxing or entertaining.
The share of freehold tenure is a practical advantage, giving residents greater control over building management and costs compared with a standard leasehold flat. The property will suit a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a central location with good transport links, nearby green spaces and a range of local amenities. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, supporting home working.
Buyers should note a few practical points: the building’s solid brick walls likely have no cavity insulation, glazing install dates are unknown, and the apartment’s 477 sq ft is compact for a couple with lots of belongings. The local area is classified as deprived and crime is average — useful to consider for long-term resale or letting expectations. Overall condition appears good, but anyone planning major energy upgrades should budget for insulation or heating improvements over time.
