Set within a handsome Georgian terrace on Oaten Hill, this first-floor one-bedroom apartment combines period character with central convenience. High ceilings, sash-style windows and a fireplace give genuine historic charm, while a walled communal garden provides a quiet outdoor spot in the heart of the city.
The accommodation offers a spacious lounge/diner with built-in storage, a double bedroom overlooking the communal gardens, a fitted kitchen and a bathroom. Gas-fired central heating via boiler and radiators is installed; the mid-terrace brick construction means solid walls and the property will benefit from sympathetic upgrading, particularly to secondary glazing and insulation.
This leasehold flat suits a range of buyers: first-time buyers looking for character close to city amenities and transport, or investors targeting students and city professionals. Note the property sits in a cosmopolitan, student-professional neighbourhood with excellent mobile signal but slow broadband speeds. There is a higher local crime rate than average and potential maintenance/modernisation costs typical of pre-1900 buildings.
Viewings are recommended so buyers can assess the space and scope for improvement. The flat offers clear upsides — location, period features and garden access — balanced by practical drawbacks: leasehold tenure, likely thermal upgrades needed, slow broadband and local crime levels.
