A top-floor one-bedroom flat in a handsome 1930s conversion, offered chain free with a 999-year lease and share of freehold. The bright living room opens onto a small south-facing balcony; high ceilings and large windows give a light, airy feel throughout.
Planning permission for a loft conversion has been applied for and approved — the proposals create a split-level two-bedroom layout with rear living room, separate dining room, kitchen and guest toilet below, and two bedrooms plus balcony and bathroom above. That approved consent is the main value driver for anyone wanting to add space and long-term value.
Practical details to note: the building is solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, double glazing is present but install date is unknown, and the property sits in an area with very high recorded crime and higher deprivation than average. Service charge averages £2,647 per year. Heating is mains gas with boiler and radiators.
This flat suits a buyer after a straightforward project with planning already in place — a first-time buyer or investor who can act on the approved loft plans. It offers immediate liveability as a one-bed with clear potential to become a comfortable two-bedroom split-level home in a well-connected, inner-city location.
