This newly renovated duplex apartment occupies a coveted spot over the River Lune, offering bright, modern living and immediate move-in condition. The open-plan lounge features a vaulted ceiling and French doors to a Juliet balcony, while floor-to-ceiling mezzanine windows frame city and river views.
The layout is flexible: two double bedrooms on the main level (including a generous master with en-suite) and a third large bedroom or second sitting room on the mezzanine. A new cashmere kitchen, contemporary bathrooms and new electric heating reduce initial maintenance needs and present a clean, contemporary finish.
Practical comforts include secure entry, lift access, a parking bay directly outside, bike store and fibre broadband. The lease is long (approx. 976 years) and the EPC is C, making ownership straightforward for typical leasehold buyers.
Important considerations: the property uses electric storage heaters and new Rointe/Dimplex units rather than gas central heating, which can mean higher running costs. The development has an average service charge and a small ground rent. The surrounding locality records very high crime levels and sits within a deprived area classification, so buyers should balance the strong location and views with local-area factors.
