Approximately 1,038 sq ft — unusually spacious for a city flat
Long lease (~101 years) with lift access to all floors
Grade II listed — restrictions on alterations and modernisation
Service charge around £3,053 and ground rent £200 annually
Located in a multicultural student area; strong rental demand potential
High local crime rate and very deprived area — consider location impact
Solid brick walls likely lack insulation; potential energy upgrade needed
This large first-floor apartment occupies a prominent position in the iconic Charter House, offering generous living space unusual for city flats. The dual-aspect reception room with bay windows and period detailing creates a bright, flexible living and dining area that will suit a couple or first-time buyers wanting spacious accommodation near the city centre.
Practical benefits include a long lease (about 101 years remaining), lift access, gas central heating and fast broadband/mobile signal. At approximately 1,038 sq ft the flat feels larger than many nearby units, and its location in a busy, well-served area ensures easy access to shops, transport links and universities.
Important practical considerations are straightforward: the building is Grade II listed, which will restrict alteration options and may complicate some renovations. The property sits in a high-crime, very deprived neighbourhood and is in a multicultural student area — factors that affect long-term character and could influence rental demand or family living preferences.
Running costs should be noted: a substantial service charge (circa £3,053) and ground rent (£200) apply. The property’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, so upgrading thermal performance could be advisable. There is no private garden or external space visible, and some buyers may find that the communal nature and listing status limit personalization.
