This generous southwest-facing second-floor flat combines traditional stone elevation with modern, well-maintained interiors. Bright, triple-windowed sitting room, separate dining space with Juliette balcony and a breakfasting kitchen create flexible living for family life or home-working. The principal bedroom benefits from an ensuite and built-in wardrobes; a versatile box room provides a dedicated home office or storage.
Set in a factored development with landscaped communal gardens, secure entry, lift access and a private single garage, the apartment is effectively low-maintenance and ready to occupy. Gas central heating and double glazing keep running costs reasonable; the accommodation is described as move-in condition with tasteful traditional finishes such as a stone fireplace.
Buyers should note the regular factor fee (approx. £1,560pa) which covers building insurance, lift, garden and communal maintenance, plus a comparatively high council tax. The local area data indicates higher deprivation metrics despite the property sitting close to Victorian streets, popular schools, independent shops, cafes and the open green of the Meadows.
Overall this is a well-proportioned, practical city flat that will suit families or professionals seeking light, flexible rooms, secure parking and straightforward communal maintenance. It offers immediate occupation with modest updating potential rather than a major renovation project.
