Important practical points are explicit: the property is leasehold with a high ground rent (£996 pa for 2024) and the length of the lease and annual service charge are currently to be confirmed. Listed status means external and some internal alterations may be restricted, which could affect plans to extend or significantly alter layouts. The apartment has an EPC rating of F.
Situated on Museum Street, the location is exceptionally convenient for local shops, cafes and the mainline railway station, making commuting and town-centre living straightforward. The flat is compact at about 581 sq ft and has no private garden, so it will appeal most to first-time buyers, city professionals or buy-to-let investors wanting a well-presented, low-maintenance investment.
Buyers should also note local context: the area records very high crime levels and falls within a very deprived ward, factors to consider for long-term resale and rental prospects. Overall this is a characterful, modern-feeling apartment in a landmark building that offers convenience and presentation — balanced by leasehold costs and local area challenges.
