Light-filled, characterful and recently converted, this two-bedroom first-floor apartment in Forth House blends Victorian features with contemporary finishes. The open-plan lounge/kitchen is a standout, with cathedral-style windows and high ceilings creating a dramatic living space. The fitted German kitchen, moveable island and high-spec shower room make the flat ready to occupy with minimal immediate work required.
Practical conveniences include gated entry, lift access, private outhouse storage and off-street parking within a maintained courtyard. The property is offered freehold and was converted in 2021, so the structure and communal areas are relatively new. At around 644 sq ft, the layout suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-maintenance, centrally located home close to transport, shops and amenities.
There are some important running-cost and location considerations. Heating is electric via a boiler and radiators, which typically costs more than gas alternatives. A factor fee/service charge of £130 per month (about £1,560 per year) covers communal maintenance; prospective buyers should confirm what the fee includes. The communal garden is small and shared, not a private rear garden. Energy performance is band D and council tax is band D.
Overall, this apartment offers stylish, ready-to-live accommodation with strong character and practical on-site amenities, but buyers should weigh higher energy costs and ongoing factor charges against the location and specification.
