This ground-floor one-bedroom flat sits in a converted Victorian building and offers surprisingly generous space (approx. 743 sqft) for a one-bed. The living room and bedroom benefit from large double-glazed windows and a bay, bringing natural light and views over well-established communal gardens. A separate, sizeable kitchen and a lobby/home-office provide flexibility for remote working or storage.
Practical positives include off-street parking, a long lease (about 121–125 years remaining), mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing, and fast broadband/mobile signal — useful for first-time buyers who need good connectivity. The property's presentation is tidy and the period features give it character while leaving scope to personalise and improve value.
Buyers should note material local factors: the area scores high on deprivation and recorded crime levels are very high. The flat is leasehold with an annual service charge of about £2,100. While council tax is very cheap, prospective purchasers should factor the service charge and any communal maintenance when budgeting. The building dates from before 1900, so buyers should arrange surveys to check structure, damp, and services before committing.
This property suits a first-time buyer seeking space and period character close to urban amenities, or an investor looking for a manageable buy-to-let with long lease security. It offers immediate occupancy with straightforward cosmetic upgrades to add value, but realistic buyers will balance the lower purchase price against higher local area risks and ongoing service costs.
