Set within the Grade II listed Royal Military Academy, this top-floor one-bedroom apartment pairs period character with straightforward modern comforts. High ceilings and tall arched windows give the living space a roomy feel while a separate modern kitchen and a generous double bedroom make the layout practical for everyday living.
Residents benefit from gated access, concierge service and allocated off-street parking, plus extensive landscaped grounds and communal amenities. The development’s historic setting and mature green spaces offer a quieter feel despite being in an inner-city, well-connected location.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with 109 years remaining and listed status that will restrict certain alterations and may complicate works or mortgage checks. The building is solid-brick with assumed lack of cavity insulation and dates from 1930–1949, so energy performance and maintenance costs should be considered. The local area records very high crime levels and broader area deprivation, which may affect buyers’ preferences or rental yields.
Overall this apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking a distinctive, characterful home with secure parking and communal services, or an investor wanting a unique rental asset — provided they are comfortable with listed-building constraints and the neighbourhood profile.
