Set within a converted Victorian mill, this two-bedroom leasehold flat offers compact city living with period character and industrial detailing. The apartment measures approximately 475 sq ft (44.1 sq m) and retains large windows and high ceilings typical of the building, lending an airy, loft-style feel despite the small overall footprint.
The property is being sold at auction and is currently subject to an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (holding over), making it suitable for investors seeking immediate rental income. Glossop rail station is about 0.6 miles away and local shops and amenities are within easy reach, supporting tenant demand for commuter links and everyday convenience.
Important drawbacks are factual and material: the location records very high crime and the wider area is classified as deprived with constrained rental aspirations. Flooding risk is high for this postcode — buyers should commission specific flood risk and insurance advice. The flat will require usual cosmetic updating and checking of services in a converted industrial building; structural and service surveys are recommended prior to purchase.
This lot suits a buyer comfortable with auction purchases and managing investment risk in a challenging market. The long lease (c.229 years remaining) reduces long-term leasehold issues, while the building’s character and proximity to transport make it a candidate for straightforward redecoration and re-letting, subject to flood and safety considerations.
