Set on the first floor of a red-brick Victorian terrace, this deceptively spacious two-bedroom apartment blends period character with practical living. High ceilings, a feature fireplace and large windows give the reception room strong natural light and a roomy feel, while the fitted kitchen and modern shower room provide everyday convenience. A private balcony from the second bedroom and access to a well-kept shared garden extend the living space outdoors.
Practical features include off-street parking and a gated car park for residents, a long lease (159 years remaining) and low council tax, all supporting an affordable running cost. The 906 sq ft layout includes a study that can serve as a third bedroom or home office, making the flat flexible for a first-time buyer, couple or buy-to-let investor.
Buyers should note the property sits in an area with very high crime and significant local deprivation; prospective purchasers should factor this into safety and insurance considerations. The building is older (constructed c.1900–1929) with solid-brick walls and no known cavity insulation, so improvements to thermal efficiency and long-term maintenance may be required. The tenure is leasehold — check service charges and terms when progressing an offer.
Overall this home offers strong character, practical space and secure parking at an accessible price point. It will suit someone looking for a roomy, well-located apartment they can personalise and improve over time, or an investor seeking a lettable two-bedroom close to local amenities and transport links.
