Set across two levels in a converted Royal Mail sorting office, this chain-free duplex blends character features with contemporary living. The top-floor layout gives a bright living room with skyline views and abundant natural light, while the lower level houses a fully fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and two bathrooms. Practical extras include an allocated underground parking space, communal Japanese-style courtyard garden and long lease (999 years from 2000).
This apartment suits investors or buyers wanting a well-located city-base. At about 874 sq ft, the flexible layout works for sharers, a small family or professional couple. The building’s high windows and period shell offer charm; a caretaker and established management provide convenience. An indicated rental yield of 5.6% (based on an expected £1,400pcm) underlines investor potential.
Notable practical points: the property is leasehold with an annual service charge of £3,498.60 and council tax band E (above average). Heating is currently electric-only (no central system specified), so buyers should budget for heating upgrades. The immediate area is a cosmopolitan, largely student neighbourhood with excellent transport, amenities and nightlife — useful for city living but potentially lively outside typical residential streets.
