Set within the converted Rowntree Wharf, this one-bedroom first-floor apartment combines period character with modern finishes and direct riverside views. The open-plan living and bespoke kitchen create a bright, practical city base, while the double bedroom offers fitted wardrobes and useful built-in storage. Offered fully furnished and newly renovated, it’s ready to occupy or let immediately.
The apartment currently operates successfully as a holiday let, providing a proven short-term income stream for investors or a turn-key option for first-time buyers seeking city-centre living. The lease is exceptionally long at 989 years, which removes typical short-lease concerns and supports long-term value retention.
There are some material points to note. The building is Grade II listed, which can restrict alterations and may complicate refurbishment plans. Heating is by electric room heaters and the EPC is rated E, which could mean higher running costs. Broadband speeds are reported very slow and local crime levels are very high; buyers should factor these practical issues into their decision.
Service charge and ground rent apply: approximately £1,332.28 service charge and £300 ground rent per year, plus a reserve fund contribution. Overall the apartment is compact at around 486 sq ft, offering excellent riverside location and character but modest internal space typical of city-centre one-bed flats.
