A compact, chain-free one-bedroom period flat with long lease and open-plan living..
Share of freehold and chain-free sale
Set on the first floor of a period conversion on Thrale Road, this one-bedroom flat combines original character with a recently refreshed open-plan layout. The living/kitchen area benefits from natural light and a layout suited to modern city living, while the double bedroom offers a quiet retreat.
Practical details are strong: share of freehold, chain-free sale and an exceptionally long lease (959 years). Heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators and windows are double glazed (install date unknown). Council tax is described as low and there is no reported flood risk.
Important drawbacks are clear and factual. The overall footprint is small (approx. 400 sq ft) and accommodation is compact; this suits a single occupant, couple or buy-to-let investor rather than a family needing space. Local crime levels are reported above average, and some external walls are solid brick with assumed no insulation — potential buyers should factor thermal performance and any retrofit work into future costs.
This property will appeal to first-time buyers wanting a low-maintenance central base, downsizers seeking a character flat with modern conveniences, or investors targeting rental demand close to transport and local amenities. Surveys and service checks are advisable to verify condition and services before purchase.
