Set on the fifth floor of the Grade II listed Tower Building, this one-bedroom apartment combines period character with practical city-centre living. High ceilings and large sash windows bring generous light into the open-plan kitchen/diner and living area, while integrated appliances and laminate flooring keep the interior low-maintenance and contemporary. The apartment is chain-free and offered with a very long lease of 970 years.
Practical features include fitted storage in the double bedroom, a well-appointed bathroom with heated towel rail, secure communal entry, lift access and a 24-hour concierge. The property is heated by electric room heaters and runs on electric mains; there is no central gas heating. Annual service charges are approximately £2,474.12 and council tax is band C.
Important considerations: the building’s listed status may restrict alterations and could complicate permissions for works. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which can affect running costs. The immediate area is described as a cosmopolitan, student-oriented neighbourhood and local crime statistics are high; buyers should consider how this aligns with their priorities. The apartment’s size (around 560 sq ft) suits a single occupant or couple rather than those needing larger family space.
Overall, the flat will appeal to buyers seeking a characterful city-centre base or buy-to-let investors wanting a central location with strong local amenities. The combination of high ceilings, original features and modern fittings gives scope for immediate occupation, while any buyer planning significant changes should factor in listed-building constraints and service charges.
