Set within an attractive Gothic-revival conversion, this one-bedroom second-floor apartment offers a stylish open-plan living space and high ceilings that add real character. The compact modern kitchen and living area suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance city base close to the university and town centre.
Practical features include double glazing, electric room heaters, an intercom system and off-street parking. At about 528 sq ft, the layout is efficient for single occupancy or a rental let. The property is chain-free and leasehold, making a quick sale possible for buyers or landlords.
Important negatives: the building sits in a very deprived area with a very high local crime rate, which will affect long-term appeal and resale. Heating is electric room heaters rather than central heating and the property requires no known structural repairs but is likely to need updating over time. Leasehold terms and any service charges should be checked before offer.
Overall this apartment is a characterful, affordable entry into Huddersfield’s rental and starter-home market. It will suit a buyer prioritising location, low initial outlay and distinctive period features, or an investor seeking an easy-to-manage city-centre let, provided they take local area factors into account.
