This newly renovated one-bedroom apartment combines Victorian character with a modern finish, making it an appealing move-in ready option for a first-time buyer or professional. High ceilings, a working original fireplace and large sash windows give the living space strong period charm, while the contemporary kitchen and bathroom mean minimal immediate work is needed.
Set on the first floor of a converted Georgian terrace, the flat benefits from a share of freehold and no service charge. At approximately 581 sq ft (54 m²) the layout is compact but well-proportioned with an open-plan flow that suits single occupancy or a couple. A communal rear courtyard provides private outdoor space uncommon for city flats at this size.
Location is a key advantage: Cheltenham Road’s independent cafés, bars and shops are within walking distance, with good public transport links and a short stroll into the city centre. Council tax is described as very cheap, and the property is offered chain-free, simplifying purchase.
Buyers should be aware of material local factors. The neighbourhood records very high crime levels and is classed as very deprived, which affects long-term desirability and resale expectations. The building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, so heating costs and sound transfer should be checked despite double glazing and mains gas heating. Overall, this is a well-presented period apartment that suits someone prioritising location and character, who is comfortable with an urban, lively neighbourhood.
