Characterful listed duplex with parking and communal gardens, chain-free.
Grade II listed Victorian duplex with high full-height sash windows
Set within a striking Grade II listed Victorian former technical school, this duplex 1-bedroom apartment combines period character with contemporary comforts. High, full-height sash windows and original stone facades bring dramatic light and scale to the open-plan living space, while solid wood floors and underfloor heating add a modern touch. The kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances and the bedroom offers an ensuite and built-in storage.
Practical benefits include allocated off-street parking, communal gardens, and a long lease (202 years remaining) — a useful balance for buyers concerned about leasehold tenure. The property is sold chain-free, which could suit first-time buyers or investors seeking a quick purchase.
Buyers should be aware this is a listed building: repairs or alterations may require specialist consent and could increase maintenance costs. The annual service charge is sizeable (£3,012) and there is a small ground rent (£150 p.a.). The building’s granite walls likely lack modern insulation, which may affect running costs despite underfloor heating.
The location offers excellent connectivity, fast broadband and good mobile signal, but local socio-economic indicators note above-average crime and area deprivation. Overall, this apartment will appeal to purchasers who prioritise architectural character and spacious rooms over turnkey suburban convenience, and who are comfortable with listed-building responsibilities and communal costs.
