Set within a Grade II listed former warehouse, this one-bedroom apartment blends original features with practical city living. Exposed brickwork and structural beams give character to the open-plan living space, while a compact modern kitchen and a finished bathroom provide everyday functionality. The flat totals about 542 sq ft and is offered chain free.
The building sits in a busy, cosmopolitan student and commuter neighbourhood close to transport links, shops and cafes. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, making the flat suitable for remote working or letting to professionals and students. The property may appeal to first-time buyers seeking a distinctive home or investors targeting the local rental market.
There are important considerations: the development’s listed status can restrict alterations and may complicate repairs or modernisation. The flat shows signs that some updating is needed (noted wall crack and areas of wear), and the service charge is relatively high (approximately £1,915). The area records very high crime levels and is classified as deprived, factors to weigh against the location benefits.
Practical details: the tenure is leasehold with about 96 years remaining. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; council tax is moderate. Viewings are recommended for buyers who value character and central positioning but are realistic about listed-building limitations and local area challenges.
