Set within a converted Victorian industrial building in Abington, this two-double-bedroom top-floor apartment combines character features with practical outdoor space. Vaulted ceilings, exposed brick and a gabled glass window flood the open-plan living area with light, while French doors lead onto a large 27' x 11' roof terrace — ideal for entertaining or quiet outdoor space above the city.
The apartment offers a large master bedroom with storage and a mezzanine access ladder, a second double with built-in wardrobes, and a four-piece bathroom with separate shower cubicle. The kitchen is fitted with modern base and eye-level units and space for white goods. Secure gated communal parking for one vehicle is included, a useful city-centre convenience.
Important practical details: the property is leasehold (approx. 107 years remaining from the stated lease), with an annual service charge of about £2,058 and ground rent of £250 per year. The flat sits on the second (top) floor reached by communal stairs. Local area factors include very high recorded crime and higher-than-average deprivation — conditions buyers should weigh against the property’s strong transport links and nearby amenities.
This apartment will suit first-time buyers or investors seeking a character-filled city property with outdoor space and parking. It requires no obvious major works but buyers should factor in ongoing leasehold costs, communal maintenance, and the local neighbourhood profile when deciding to view or proceed.
