Set on the upper floor of a converted B‑listed linen mill, this 818 sq ft two‑bed flat blends period character with practical living. High ceilings, large sash windows and window seats give bright, airy rooms and attractive town views. The open‑plan breakfasting kitchen and sizeable walk‑in cupboard (usable as a small home office) suit a first home or buy‑to‑let opportunity.
Practical benefits include freehold tenure, gas central heating and private residents’ parking, plus communal gardens for low‑maintenance outdoor space. The apartment’s EPC C and reasonable service charge (approx. £360) keep running costs predictable; there is also a small residents’ fund of about £30/month for grounds maintenance.
Important drawbacks: the building’s B‑listed status restricts alterations and can complicate future remodelling or replacing sash windows. The property currently has single‑glazed sash & case windows, so upgrading for insulation and soundproofing will be advisable. The surrounding neighbourhood shows higher levels of deprivation, which may affect resale and local amenity perceptions.
Overall this is a characterful, well‑located flat for a buyer who values period features and easy access to the city centre and train station, and who is comfortable accepting listed‑building constraints and modest upgrade work to improve thermal performance and long‑term value.
