Set within a handsome Victorian tenement, this ground-floor two-bedroom flat blends period character with modern fittings. The open-plan living/kitchen benefits from natural light and direct access to a well-kept communal garden — a rare find for a central city property. High ceilings and original stonework add character while contemporary kitchen units and a modern shower room mean the flat is move-in ready.
At about 522 sq ft, the accommodation is compact but well laid out: a welcoming hall gives access to all rooms, two double bedrooms and a bright living/kitchen core. The principal bedroom is notably generous in size; the second bedroom is suitable for guests, a home office or flexible use. Practical extras include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and no flooding risk.
Important considerations: the flat is small and has a single shower room, which may suit couples or first-time buyers more than larger families. It sits in an area described as very deprived, so buyers should weigh local social conditions against the strong central location and plentiful nearby amenities. The rear garden is communal, not private, and maintenance is shared with other residents.
Overall, this freehold tenement flat offers an attractive, low-hassle central home for a first-time buyer or couple seeking period charm with contemporary convenience. Its compact footprint, single bathroom and the character of the surrounding neighbourhood are the main factors to consider alongside its move-in condition and outdoor access.
