This converted loft apartment pairs dramatic industrial character with practical city-centre living. High 3.6m ceilings and four large period windows flood the 6.7m open-plan living area with light, while the mezzanine bedroom makes efficient use of the vertical space. The gated off-street parking space is a useful bonus, provided through the management company and paid for as part of the management fee.
The layout suits a first-time buyer or single professional seeking a distinctive home near Cabot Circus and central transport links. The flat measures about 47 sq.m (approx. 506 sq.ft) and sits in a lively, multicultural inner-city neighbourhood with many local amenities and strong mobile signal. The long lease (975 years) gives long-term security, and council tax costs are low.
Buyers should note a few material drawbacks: the EPC rating is G, indicating poor energy efficiency and likely higher heating costs and retrofit expense. The mezzanine bedroom offers limited privacy and may not suit everyone. The area has a very high crime classification and is described as very deprived, factors that should inform buyer due diligence. Broadband speeds are average.
Overall, this is a characterful, well-located loft with strong visual appeal and clear potential. It will particularly suit someone who values urban living and architectural character and who is prepared to invest in energy improvements and accept inner-city trade-offs.
