This ground-floor flat occupies a converted warehouse with characterful brick façade and large windows, offering an open-plan living kitchen and two double bedrooms. The master bedroom includes an en-suite, and the compact layout suits city living with decent natural light throughout. At 663 sq ft the apartment is an average-sized, practical home or rental unit for urban professionals.
The location is a key draw: a short walk to Leeds city centre, excellent public transport links, and a wide range of local amenities and services. The property’s modern kitchen, laminate flooring and double glazing present a straightforward, low-effort living space for a buyer wanting central convenience.
There are significant material considerations that affect suitability and financing. The lease has 78 years remaining; many mortgage lenders may refuse to lend on this basis, making cash buyers or specialist lending necessary. The building faces a high flood risk and sits in an area with very high recorded crime and marked deprivation; these factors will influence insurance, resale and rental demand.
Running costs and practicalities: heating is by electric room heaters, there is an average broadband speed and an annualised service charge of approximately £2,178.68. The property may suit a cash investor seeking city-centre rental income or a buyer prepared to arrange non-standard finance, but it is not ideal for conventional mortgage-dependent purchasers.
