Set on the top floor of a striking Grade II listed Victorian building, this large one-bedroom penthouse offers generous open-plan living with period character. The apartment benefits from high ceilings, skylights and a luxury bathroom with a freestanding bath and separate walk-in shower — a rare combination of style and space so close to Grey Street and the Quayside.
Practical buyers should note material considerations: the building’s listed status may restrict alterations and complicate consent; external walls are likely uninsulated sandstone and windows are secondary glazed. Broadband speeds are very slow and the wider area records very high crime and significant deprivation — factors that may affect comfort, resale and rental demand.
This chain-free flat suits a buyer who values central-city living and character architecture and is prepared to manage listed-building constraints. The layout and sizeable internal area (approximately 756 sq ft) create clear potential for modernising the finish and improving thermal performance, subject to listed-building consent and service checks.
Buyers are advised to confirm tenure and title details (leasehold indicated in particulars), investigate communal maintenance obligations, and review security and service provisions given the city-centre location. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the space, light and position close to transport links, restaurants and cultural amenities.
