Summary - THE LOFTS, 21 APARTMENT 15 WATER STREET HUDDERSFIELD HD1 4BX
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Affordable town-centre buy with long lease and parking space.
Tenant in situ paying £575pcm — immediate rental income
A ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in a converted Victorian building, offered with a long lease and tenant already in situ. The tenant pays £575pcm, providing immediate rental income for a buyer seeking a straightforward investment in Huddersfield town centre. The property totals about 506 sq ft with a dining kitchen, a generous double bedroom and an en-suite bathroom.
The block combines period character — sandstone façade, high ceilings and large arched windows — with a compact modern kitchen and electric room heaters. There is one off-street parking space and secure fob entry to communal areas. The lease length is exceptionally long (978 years) and ground rent is modest at £195 per year.
Buyers should note practical considerations: heating is by individual electric heaters (no communal gas or central system), walls are likely uninsulated and glazing age is unknown. The area records very high crime and is classified as very deprived, which may affect tenant demand and resale values. Council tax is Band A (£1,541.45 yearly), and there is no flood risk.
This flat suits investors seeking an affordable, low-maintenance income stream or first-time buyers prepared to live centrally. Early viewing is recommended to assess condition and management charges; the communal management fee is currently awaited. The property offers immediate cashflow potential but also clear refurbishment and area-related risks to factor into any purchase decision.
