Set in a sandstone mid‑19th century tenement, this ground‑floor flat offers compact, efficient city‑centre living. Period features — high ceilings, cornicing and a timber fireplace — give real character, while gas central heating and double glazing provide practical comfort. The flat is freehold and includes access to a shared rear garden.
At about 598 sq ft the accommodation is modest but well arranged: entrance hall, sitting room, kitchen with white goods, two bedrooms, shower room and separate WC. This layout suits a first‑time buyer seeking a low‑maintenance home or an investor targeting a city‑centre let close to universities and transport links.
Buyers should note the property’s limitations: overall internal size is small, it is a ground‑floor, street‑facing flat with limited on‑street parking and sits in a largely student and commuter neighbourhood (potential for daytime/night‑time activity). The surrounding area is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale or rental premiums. The interior appears generally well maintained but would benefit from decluttering and cosmetic refresh to maximise appeal.
With excellent mobile and fast broadband, close access to shops, cafes, parks and frequent bus routes, this flat offers straightforward, affordable city living or a lettable asset in a high‑amenity central location.
