A roomy three-bedroom first-floor flat set in a traditional sandstone terrace on Exeter Street, offering period character with practical modern comforts. The bay-fronted living room has high ceilings, cornicing and a feature fireplace; the kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances and the bathroom is fully tiled. A partially floored, insulated loft adds useful storage and the private south‑westerly yard includes an up-and-over door for secure off-street parking.
This property suits families or professionals who want character with usability — generous principal rooms and good natural light make the flat comfortable straightaway. The long lease (959 years) and very low council tax reduce running costs, while excellent mobile signal and fast broadband support home working.
Buyers should note the urban context: the area is classed as very deprived with above-average local crime, and the terrace’s sandstone walls are assumed to have no built-in insulation. The property is described as small overall for a three-bedroom flat and may benefit from targeted energy improvements (wall insulation, check glazing age) to reduce heating costs further.
Overall this is a practical, well-presented first-floor flat that combines Victorian character and modern fittings, with clear potential to personalise and improve energy performance. Viewing is recommended to assess room proportions and condition in person.
