Set within a converted mill on Saltaire’s canal, this two-bedroom apartment offers compact, well-lit living with genuine rental and owner-occupier appeal. Large windows in the main reception frame pleasant river views and bring daylight into rooms that feel larger than their footprint suggests. The building benefits from lift access, communal gardens and an allocated off-street parking space — useful extras in a popular waterside location.
Practical running costs reflect the property’s construction and systems: electric storage heaters provide heating, and the flat runs on individual electricity supply. The current average service charge is £2,812 per year. The lease is exceptionally long (970 years remaining), giving long-term security for purchase or letting. At about 571 sq ft the layout suits first-time buyers, couples or investors seeking a two-bedroom rental in a high-demand postcode.
Buyers should note material considerations plainly. The property sits in a high flood-risk area — flood resilience and insurance implications should be checked before exchange. The apartment is compact and some rooms are modestly sized, so storage and furniture planning will be important. The wider area scores as relatively deprived, which may affect long-term capital growth compared with more affluent pockets.
Overall this is a practical, characterful riverside flat that balances period features and modern living. It’s particularly well suited to first-time buyers wanting a move-in-ready home with commute and leisure conveniences nearby, or investors seeking a straightforward two-bed let with strong local demand. Prospective buyers are advised to verify heating efficiency, flood cover and service charge details independently.
