Characterful one‑bed in a listed former Co‑op, with parking and strong transport links.
700 sq ft one‑bed apartment with open‑plan living
Set within the restored Victorian Co‑Operative building on Morrison Street, this one‑bedroom apartment offers 700 sq ft of well‑proportioned living on the fourth floor. The conversion retains grand communal spaces — an ornate entrance hall, high‑ceilinged staircase and two lifts — while providing modern apartment finishes, an open‑plan living/kitchen and a luxury tiled bathroom. The development includes an allocated underground parking space, a private courtyard, residents’ gym and secure entry.
This property is presented as a freehold apartment in a B‑listed building (dating from 1893, converted circa 2001). Listing status is material and may constrain alterations or require specialist consent and costs for external or historic fabric work. Council tax is above average and the wider neighbourhood is classified as very deprived with a high student and commuter population — factors to weigh for rental strategy or resale timing.
For investors the flat’s city‑edge location benefits from strong transport links (three underground stations within half a mile, frequent buses and quick motorway access), reliable mobile signal and fast broadband — features that appeal to student sharers or young professionals. The apartment’s size, underground parking and attractive communal setting support steady demand, but budgeting for potential listed‑building requirements and higher council tax is essential.
Viewings will best serve buyers who understand conservation constraints and local market dynamics: those seeking character, secure parking and central convenience, prepared to manage listed‑building responsibilities or to target long‑let tenants who value location and building amenities.
