Set within a striking Grade II listed former foundry, this two-bedroom first-floor apartment blends original character with contemporary finishes. The living space showcases exposed stone walls and wooden beams beside a modern fitted kitchen — a bright, flexible open-plan layout suited to everyday living or rental occupation. With lift access and secure off-street parking, practical urban comforts accompany the building's heritage features.
The flat is presented in immaculate condition throughout and benefits from double glazing installed post-2002, electric boiler and radiators, and a long lease (999 years from 2021). Running costs are modest: a below-average service charge of £103 pcm and small ground rent of £100 per year; optional allocated parking is available at around £55 pcm. Council tax is low and broadband/mobiles are strong.
This property suits first-time buyers seeking a characterful town-centre home or investors targeting a cited circa 8% gross yield (rental example provided). Note that the Grade II listing may limit external alterations and could complicate permissions or future works. The wider area shows high deprivation and very high recorded crime levels — factors to weigh for owner-occupiers and lettings.
Overall, the apartment offers straightforward, low-maintenance town living with genuine period charm and income potential, balanced by listed-building constraints and local area challenges. Viewing will best show the scale, light and the communal courtyard amenity.
