High-quality recent renovation throughout
A freshly modernised two-bedroom ground-floor apartment in a striking Victorian building, presented to a high standard and ready for immediate occupation or letting. The property combines period character — high coved ceilings, Gothic bay windows and an ornamental fireplace — with contemporary fittings including a superb fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and a modern bathroom with underfloor heating.
Practical features include gas central heating (Vokera combi boiler), uPVC double glazing, private off-road parking for two small cars and a private front lawn, all set within well-maintained communal landscaped grounds. The long 999-year lease and a modest annual service charge of approximately £800 add ownership certainty.
This location sits within a cosmopolitan, student-oriented neighbourhood close to local amenities and university facilities, making it attractive to buy-to-let investors targeting student or professional tenants. Note the lower-ground second bedroom has a lower ceiling and an electric wall radiator, which may suit single occupancy or short-term lets rather than a master bedroom.
Buyers should be aware that the listing vendor has not tested the central heating, electrical circuits or other services, so prospective purchasers should arrange their own inspections. The area records higher crime rates and marked local deprivation; this can affect rental yields and tenant profiles and is a material consideration for owners and managers.
