This newly renovated two-bedroom penthouse occupies a prominent position within the Preston City Bridge Apartments, offering city-centre living with a large private roof terrace and good access to the train station, cafés and bars. The apartment is presented to a show‑home standard with an open-plan lounge and breakfast kitchen with integrated appliances, two double bedrooms (master with en‑suite) and a luxury shower room. Chain free and with c.119 years remaining on the lease, it suits buyers who want a ready-to-move-in city base or a rental asset with strong footfall nearby.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: the property is leasehold with an annual service charge of about £1,755 and ground rent of £250, and heating is by electric room heaters rather than a communal gas system. The overall apartment size is compact (circa 593 sq ft), so it will suit those seeking a city-centre pad rather than a large family home. Broadband speeds are average; mobile signal is excellent.
Location drives value: the building is a converted Victorian/period structure with character features and high ceilings in communal parts, positioned on a busy, well‑served retail and leisure stretch. That brings convenience and rental demand but also very high local crime levels and a generally deprived area profile — factors buyers should weigh when considering safety, insurance and long‑term capital growth.
In short: a stylish, chain‑free penthouse with immediate visual appeal and lettable potential, best suited to investors or buyers prioritising central location and low-move-in work. Be aware of the compact internal footprint, electric heating, running costs (service charge/ground rent) and local area challenges before viewing.
