1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Characterful one-bedroom with parking, light-filled living and conversion charm.
- 75% shared ownership leasehold opportunity
- Bright open-plan reception with high ceilings and exposed brick
- Approx. 579 sq ft; one double bedroom, one bathroom
- Off-street parking and on-site gym included
- EPC C and council tax band A: generally economical running costs
- Electric storage heaters; potential for higher heating bills
- Solid brick construction; likely no wall insulation (assumed)
- Located in a very deprived area; local services and schools are mixed
This one-bedroom conversion in a landmark cotton mill balances industrial character with practical, economical living. Exposed brick, high ceilings and large windows create a bright, airy reception room with panoramic views — a welcoming space for first-time buyers who value style and light. The open-plan layout and well-equipped kitchen suit modern living in a compact footprint (approx. 579 sq ft).
The flat is offered as a 75% shared ownership leasehold, priced to reflect that tenure. Running costs are generally economical: council tax band A and an EPC C rating help, but heating relies on electric storage heaters and the building’s solid-brick walls appear to lack cavity insulation, which may increase heating bills and could prompt future insulation works.
Practical benefits include off-street parking, on-site gym facilities and excellent mobile signal. The location is well connected to public transport and local amenities. Be aware the wider area scores as very deprived with “hampered” local classifications; services and schools nearby are mixed in performance, so factor local context into long-term plans.
This flat suits a purchaser seeking an affordable route onto the ladder who values period character and open-plan living. It is mostly move-in ready but buyers should budget for potential energy-efficiency improvements and check communal/leasehold costs and gym access details before committing.
