Victorian one-bedroom with attic extension potential, central Hillside location.
Top/third-floor flat with period features and high ceilings
Set on the third/top floor of a traditional Victorian tenement in Hillside, this one-bedroom flat presents a compact, well-proportioned city home with genuine uplift potential. The reception room is bright with high ceilings and period features; a fitted kitchenette and a sizable box room add practical living space. Double glazing and good mobile/broadband connectivity suit modern working habits.
A notable benefit is an attic warrant already in place and partial works carried out, creating a clear path to extend and increase usable floor area (subject to building regulations). The building has a well-maintained communal garden, and on-street permit/meter parking is available nearby — useful but not private.
Practical buyers should note the property sits on the top floor with stair access only, which may affect accessibility and moving large items. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived and cosmopolitan student neighbourhoods, which brings convenience and amenities but may not suit those seeking quieter suburbs.
Overall, this flat will appeal to first-time buyers and investors who value central location, period character and scope to add value via the attic extension. The freehold tenure and low council tax band B are additional financial positives.
