Compact 463 sq ft layout, ideal for one or two occupants

Set within a converted Victorian building, this one-bedroom flat offers a bright, well-proportioned living room, a modern fitted kitchen and a generous double bedroom. The layout is practical and makes sensible use of 463 sq ft for easy, low‑maintenance living—appealing for a first-time buyer or someone downsizing.
Practical benefits include an allocated off-street parking space, communal upkeep in a well-maintained development, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. The property’s period character—high ceilings and large windows—gives a roomy feel and good natural light throughout.
Buyers should note several material points: the building dates from c.1900–1929 and walls are assumed to be solid brick with no cavity insulation, so heating is via electric storage heaters and running costs can be higher. Double glazing was installed before 2002 and there may be typical older‑building issues such as potential damp in places.
There is a planning/legal constraint: the flat is subject to an S106 Agreement with restricted purchase criteria. There is also conflicting tenure information in the paperwork (advised as freehold in one place but later noted as leasehold); prospective buyers must verify tenure and any S106 conditions with their solicitor before committing. Overall, this is a compact, characterful flat offering straightforward living and rental potential, but it suits buyers who understand period‑building maintenance and legal restrictions.
