Characterful, newly renovated Grade II townhouse in central NG1—chain free, ideal for investor or city buyer.
Grade II listed 1800s cottage with significant period features
A rare city-centre two-bedroom cottage set within a surviving 1800s back-to-back on Brewitts Yard. Recently renovated to a high standard, the house keeps strong period character—exposed beams, floorboards, feature fireplaces and a dramatic top-floor bedroom with exposed brick—while offering modern comforts such as a newly fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, double glazing and gas central heating.
This freehold, chain-free home occupies 883 sq ft over multiple stories and includes a private courtyard-style garden ideal for a small table and planters. Its central NG1 location places shops, cafes, transport links and fast broadband on the doorstep, making it suitable for buy-to-let investors targeting student or city-centre demand, or buyers seeking a characterful pied-à-terre.
Important practical notes: the property is Grade II listed, so alterations will be restricted and permissions likely required. The building is solid brick with assumed no insulation in the walls, which could affect running costs and future upgrade work. The local area records very high crime levels, which may influence rental yields, insurance and personal security choices.
Overall this is a character-rich, newly improved period townhouse that offers immediate occupation and strong location appeal. Buyers should weigh the benefits of historic charm and recent renovation against the limitations of listed status, small plot size and local crime statistics.
