This recently renovated top-floor studio in a converted mill blends period character with contemporary finishes. High ceilings, exposed brick, and designer lighting create an airy, characterful living space, while double Juliet balconies frame canal and woodland views. The compact kitchen and fold-away workspace make efficient use of the 384 sq ft layout.
Practical advantages include lift access, secure gated parking for one vehicle, and full use of extensive communal grounds beside the canal. The property is offered as a long share-of-freehold with around 976 years remaining, making ownership straightforward for first-time buyers or investor purchasers.
Important factual drawbacks: the location is in a high flood-risk area and the apartment has an EPC rating of D. Annual service charges average around £3,000 and the overall apartment size is compact, so buyers should factor these into running costs and insurance. The building’s solid brick construction reflects its Victorian/Georgian origins and may limit some insulation upgrades.
This apartment suits someone seeking a stylish, low-maintenance city-base with excellent local amenities, strong schools nearby, and attractive communal grounds. It offers immediate move-in readiness and potential rental appeal, provided buyers are comfortable with flood-risk considerations and service charges.
