Set within a striking Victorian building on Alexandra Drive, this bright one-bedroom apartment blends period character with practical modern living. High ceilings and a large bay window create an airy lounge; the accommodation is well laid out for comfortable city living on a compact 408 sq ft footprint. Allocated off-street parking, secured communal grounds with electric gates, and a basement storage room add useful extras not often found at this size and price.
The location is a major selling point: an easy stroll to Lark Lane’s cafés, bars and shops and close to Sefton Park. Transport links into Liverpool city centre are frequent, and several well-regarded schools are nearby, making the property suitable for first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors seeking strong local rental demand.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the flat is leasehold, the building was constructed 1900–1929 and walls are likely uninsulated solid brick. Double glazing is present but the installation date is unknown. The surrounding area shows high crime rates and high deprivation statistics, which may affect some buyers’ priorities and rental yields. The apartment offers renovation potential rather than a turnkey modern finish—an opportunity to add value but also likely requiring some investment in upgrades.
Overall, this small but characterful apartment offers a cost-conscious route into Aigburth with genuine upside for buyers willing to factor in refurbishment and the local context. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the interior space and communal grounds.
