This stylish ground-floor apartment sits within an iconic Victorian factory conversion and pairs industrial character with contemporary finishes. High arched windows and very high ceilings create a light, airy feel across the generous open-plan living, kitchen and dining space, while a separate double bedroom and bathroom keep the layout functional for everyday living.
Practical features include double glazing, integrated kitchen appliances, a utility cupboard, secure undercover parking accessed via electric gates, and access to a partly covered communal courtyard — useful for socialising without garden maintenance. The property is finished to a modern standard and offers straightforward, low‑maintenance city living suitable for a first-time buyer or buy‑to‑let investor.
Important practical points: the flat is leasehold (114 years remaining) and heated via a communal scheme, which may involve service/heat charges. There is no private garden and the property fronts onto the street. The immediate area shows higher crime and relative deprivation, so buyers should consider local safety and amenity factors alongside the flat’s many positives.
Overall, this apartment offers characterful, low‑maintenance urban living with secure parking and a communal entertainment courtyard — a strong option for someone seeking a stylish first home or an investment in a notable conversion.
