Bright, compact top-floor apartment combining period character with contemporary finishes. The south-facing living room is a particular highlight, with high ceilings, original cornicing and a handsome marble fireplace that creates a strong focal point for entertaining or relaxing. The well-appointed dining kitchen features solid wood worktops and real wood flooring, giving a modern, durable workspace alongside useful dining space.
The double bedroom includes a useful storage area and the flat benefits from gas central heating and double glazing throughout. Practical layout includes a separate WC and a bathroom with shower-over-bath. Shared rear communal garden provides outdoor space; on-street permit parking is available nearby.
Buyers should note the property is small in overall size (around 430 sq ft) and sits on an upper/top floor, which may affect accessibility and limits options for extensions. The neighbourhood is busy and largely student/commuter-focused; while convenient for universities and city-centre amenities, it may be noisier and busier than suburban locations. The building is a traditional sandstone tenement, so external maintenance and conservation considerations may arise.
This flat will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a compact, characterful apartment with low running costs (gas heating, double glazing) and good transport links. It offers straightforward cosmetic maintenance rather than major structural work, but purchasers should check communal building condition and factor in typical tenement upkeep.
