Set within a Category B-listed Victorian tenement, this one-bedroom first-floor flat combines period character with contemporary kitchen fittings. High ceilings, original cornicing and a living-flame fireplace give the main living room charm and natural light from a south-west aspect and built-in window seat. The flat extends to approximately 617 sq ft, offering generous room proportions for a city-centre property.
The L-shaped dining kitchen is sleek and modern, with white gloss and grey handleless units, black worktops and integrated appliances. A double bedroom and a well-appointed bathroom complete the layout. Residents benefit from a shared rear garden and on-street permit parking; broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent.
Practical considerations: the property is Category B-listed, which may restrict alterations and could add cost and delay to works. It is sold as seen, so buyers should expect to accept the flat in its current condition. The wider area is a cosmopolitan mix of students and commuters and is described as deprived, which may affect long-term rental yields and resale dynamics.
This home will suit a buyer seeking central living with character — good for a first-time buyer or investor who values period features, generous room sizes and a strong central location, and who is comfortable with listed-building constraints.
