This chain-free, first-floor apartment offers a straightforward move-in option for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. At around 663 sq ft the layout is practical: a bright open-plan kitchen and reception, two double bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom. Unusually for an upper-floor flat it includes a private rear garden, useful for relaxing or light entertaining.
The building dates from the early 20th century and retains period character externally while interiors are neutrally finished with recessed lighting, shutters and modern double glazing (installed post-2002). Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent — good for home working or streaming.
Buyers should note a few material points plainly. The property sits in an area described as deprived with above-average local crime; prospective purchasers should review local data and visits at different times of day. The building’s solid brick walls are assumed to lack cavity insulation, so further thermal upgrading may be desirable and could affect heating costs. Council tax band is not provided.
Overall this is a practical, well-presented two-bedroom apartment in a well-connected, inner-city neighbourhood. It will suit someone seeking a ready-to-live-in home with outdoor space, or an investor looking for a straightforward let in a busy transport corridor, while leaving scope for modest improvements to increase comfort or value.
