Set within the iconic Wheatsheaf building, this one-bedroom apartment combines industrial character with contemporary energy efficiency. High ceilings and large windows create a bright open-plan living, dining and kitchen space, with a mezzanine that adds usable floor area and a distinctive loft feel. Integrated appliances, double glazing and modern finishes make the flat ready to occupy.
Practical running costs are a real strength: the apartment uses an air-source heat pump and underfloor heating, achieving an EPC C rating and lower seasonal bills than older electric systems. The property includes an allocated off-street parking space and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — convenient for home working and city living.
This is a leasehold home with 112 years remaining and a modest ground rent (£150). The building dates from 2007–2011 and presents a low-maintenance timber-frame construction, but the surrounding neighbourhood shows higher crime levels and local deprivation; buyers should factor local area context into their decision. The flat suits singles or couples, first-time buyers, or investors seeking a city-centre rental opportunity close to hospitals, university and shopping parades.
Viewings will suit anyone wanting a compact, characterful apartment that’s economical to run and easy to maintain. The mezzanine and open-plan layout offer scope to personalise the space, though buyers wanting large private outdoor space should note there is no garden.
