Set on the first floor of a striking Grade II listed building on St Mary’s Gate, this two-bedroom apartment offers classic Georgian proportions with modern amenities. The living kitchen features a marble stone fireplace and large windows that bring generous daylight into the principal rooms. A panelled bedroom/sitting room overlooks the communal rear garden, and two allocated gated parking spaces add rare convenience in the city centre.
The apartment is 842 sqft with an open-plan layout and retains period character including wood panelling and high ceilings. The long lease (132 years) and modest service charge (£100 pcm) make this a manageable purchase for a buyer wanting central living with historical charm. Broadband and mobile signals are excellent, and the property sits in the Cathedral Quarter close to shops, cafes and transport links.
Buyers should note the Grade II listed status — repairs and alterations will be subject to listed-building constraints and may complicate refurbishments. The property is leasehold with a small ground rent (£100) and sits in an area recorded as very deprived with very high local crime rates; those concerns are material to resale and insurance considerations.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer or buyer seeking a characterful city-centre home who accepts listed-building responsibilities. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, period detail and how the apartment’s benefits balance the practical restrictions and local area challenges.
