Set on the second floor of the converted Rowntree Wharf mill, this two-bedroom apartment offers compact, characterful city living with generous natural light and waterside outlooks. The open-plan living area and large windows give a bright, airy feel; the layout suits a couple or first-time buyers wanting low-maintenance central living.
Practical benefits include secure off-street parking (optional space), a 92-year lease remaining and a nominal ground rent (£1). Service charges cover water and buildings insurance, simplifying monthly bills. The property is offered chain free, allowing a quicker purchase process.
Be upfront about running costs and upgrades: heating is by electric storage heaters and walls are solid brick with no assumed insulation, which can increase energy bills and limit thermal comfort without improvement. The local crime level is recorded as very high for this area, so buyers should consider security measures and insurance implications.
This is a city-centre home with genuine character and commuting convenience, but it’s best suited to buyers who accept leasehold ownership, may budget for heating/insulation upgrades, and value location over a suburban lot size. Viewing will show how the period features and large windows give a spacious feel despite a modest footprint.
