Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat in a solid-brick 1900–1929 building where insulation may be lacking (walls assumed uninsulated). While much is ready to enjoy — contemporary kitchen, restored period details, and high ceilings — there is scope to improve energy efficiency and personalise finishes. No flooding risk and local crime is low.
