Set within a converted warehouse in Liverpool’s Ropewalks, this one-bedroom apartment offers a compact central base or buy-to-let opportunity with immediate rental appeal. Original features such as exposed beams and pillars give character, while lift access and an efficient layout make the flat easy to manage and let. The property is chain-free and within easy walking distance of Liverpool One, Albert Dock and transport hubs — ideal for students and city commuters.
Practical running costs and constraints are clear: heating is by electric storage heaters and walls are solid brick with no assumed insulation, so energy costs could be higher than modern-built flats. Broadband speeds in the area are reported very slow, which may affect remote working or streaming without an alternative provider. The building’s service charge averages £1,998.84 per year (£166.57 pcm) with a small sinking fund contribution; check service charge details before purchase.
Security and neighbourhood context are important: the immediate area is a lively, cosmopolitan student and commuter neighbourhood but has a very high reported crime level, so purchasers should consider security measures and let-with-care strategies. On the positive side, the apartment benefits from a long lease (many years remaining), lift access, double glazing and an EPC grade D, and is offered chain-free — attractive to investors or buyers wanting quick completion and central living.
