This fourth-floor two-bedroom apartment sits within a striking Grade II listed former grain warehouse on Dock Road, offered chain-free with a long lease of around 130 years. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite and the main living space is an open-plan kitchen/lounge/diner — room sizes are generous for a two-bed and the property previously let successfully.
Practical positives include an allocated off-street parking space, an EPC rating of C, double glazing installed post-2002 and connections to mains services. The flat is heated by electric storage heaters and runs on mains electricity, making it straightforward to service and manage for buy-to-let purposes.
Material considerations are clear: the building’s listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate refurbishment plans. The property is leasehold with an annual service charge around £2,500 and a ground rent of £315, which affect running costs and rental yields. The converted building has solid brick walls assumed to lack insulation, and electric storage heating can be costly for occupiers.
Location factors that buyers should weigh: the apartment is within the Wirral Waters growth area and is convenient for Liverpool and the wider North West, but the immediate neighbourhood scores high for deprivation and above-average crime. These points are important for owner-occupiers and investors assessing demand, rental levels and future resale prospects.
