Set over two floors in a Victorian brick building, this chain-free duplex flat offers 2 bedrooms and a flexible open-plan reception/kitchen across approximately 786 sq ft. High ceilings and period sash windows give the home character, while the neutral decor provides a straightforward blank canvas for updating. The master bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and there is a guest WC in addition to the main family bathroom.
Positioned 0.4 miles from the station, the flat suits first-time buyers or professionals who value quick transport links and local amenities. The local area is inner-city and cosmopolitan, with plenty of shops, restaurants and schools within easy reach. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, supporting home working.
Practical considerations: the property is leasehold with 111 years remaining and an above-average service charge of £4,200 per year. Constructed before 1900 with assumed solid brick walls and no insulation, the building may benefit from modernising works to improve thermal performance. Crime levels in the immediate area are higher than average; buyers should factor this into long-term suitability.
Overall this is a well-located, characterful duplex with immediate move-in potential and clear scope for value through improvement. Its chain-free status and transport proximity make it particularly attractive to first-time buyers seeking a period home to personalise.
