A well-proportioned one-bedroom flat on the first-floor of a striking Georgian C-listed building, offered freehold. The bright lounge with high ceilings and polished floorboards, combined with a dining-size kitchen and double bedroom, gives comfortable living space for a first-time buyer or someone downsizing. Large windows look over the Serpentine to the front and the communal garden to the rear, while a shared basement and exclusive close storage add practical space.
The building is factored and appears well maintained, with double glazing and gas central heating already in place. The location is a strong selling point: a short walk to the seafront, local shops, cafés, bars and a woodland walk on the doorstep, plus excellent mobile signal and average broadband speeds. Council Tax is very cheap (Band A) and the property has an Energy Rating of C.
Important considerations: the property is C-listed, which will cause legal and maintenance constraints and may limit alterations; buyers should expect listed-building restrictions. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived and the wider locality shows outer-city hardship, which may affect resale prospects and some services. The flat is in a factored building — prospective buyers should confirm any factor arrangements and fees.
Overall this flat offers a characterful, affordable entry into Rothesay property ownership with period features and convenient central location. It is best suited to buyers comfortable with owning a listed property and who value proximity to amenities and the seafront over large internal floorplans.
