Set within the converted Grade II listed Millfields development, this first-floor apartment pairs period character with contemporary fittings. The open-plan living space has soaring vaulted ceilings, roof lanterns and exposed beams that create dramatic light and volume — strong visual appeal for rental listings or buyers seeking standout living space.
Practical advantages include two double bedrooms (master with en-suite), two parking spaces and secure gated access within landscaped communal grounds. The lease is long (994 years) with a modest ground rent, and the building was converted in 2021, so mechanicals and finishes are generally modern.
Important considerations: the property’s listed status will restrict external and some internal alterations, which may limit refurbishment options. The wider neighbourhood scores as very deprived with higher crime levels and a strong student presence — factors that can affect resale and lettings depending on buyer strategy.
For investors this offers characterful accommodation close to city amenities and good broadband/mobile connectivity; for owner-occupiers it suits those who value secure, gated grounds and architectural detail but accept limitations on changes and variable local area dynamics.
