Located in Kelham Island: vibrant but high-crime area
Compact layout; not suited for family use
This compact one-bedroom apartment in Cotton Mill places you in the heart of Kelham Island, a lively district of bars, independent shops and creative businesses. Finished in 2022 with high-quality fittings, the home is turnkey ready: contemporary kitchen with integrated appliances, minimalist fitted wardrobe and a fully tiled Porcelanosa shower room. A private balcony and large windows maximise light in the apartment’s efficient layout.
The property offers clear advantages for first-time buyers, professionals and buy-to-let investors: a 999-year lease, low annual service charge (£873) and immediate move-in or let-ready status. Lift access, a secure cycle store and good broadband and mobile signal add everyday convenience. At 355 sq ft the layout is compact, designed for city living rather than broad family use.
Be upfront about running costs: heating is electric (room heaters), which can be more expensive than gas in colder months. The building sits in a high-crime and very deprived area statistically, which may affect long-term rental appeal and personal security preferences despite the building’s secure features. No flood risk and a B-level EPC are positives to note.
Overall this apartment suits someone seeking a low-maintenance city base or an entry-level investment in a characterful, amenity-rich neighbourhood. It’s a small, modern home with strong location appeal but with practical trade-offs around space and energy costs.
