Set within a red-brick period building, this one-bedroom ground-floor home combines high ceilings and original character with compact, efficient living. The open-plan kitchen/living area makes the most of 431 sq ft, and an allocated off-street parking space is a practical bonus for city living. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent — well suited to modern working patterns.
The flat is leasehold with 122 years remaining; service charges average £1,700 pa and ground rent is £50 pa. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the building’s solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy costs can be higher than a modern, insulated alternative. There is a medium flood risk that buyers should factor into insurance costs.
Suitably priced for first-time buyers or investors seeking a centrally located one-bed, this home needs minimal updating to increase comfort and rental appeal. A straightforward cosmetic refresh and a professional check of services and electrics are recommended. Viewing is advised to appreciate the ceiling heights, layout and nearby amenities.
