Large 1,005 sq ft upper period flat with loft conversion
This upper two-bedroom period flat blends Victorian character with contemporary finishes across two levels and a loft conversion. At around 1,005 sq ft the accommodation feels unusually spacious for a flat, with an open-plan lounge/kitchen, two double bedrooms and a high-spec bathroom. Two separate garden rooms — one with a log burner, the other wired with power and Wi‑Fi — extend usable living space and work well as offices, studios or snug retreats.
The principal bedroom benefits from a seating area and its own log burner, creating a cosy private suite; there is also an ensuite WC. The open-plan reception and kitchen are well appointed and finished, with wooden floors and decorative period details retained. Practical points include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and a low council tax band (B) — features that suit remote working or first-time buyers seeking value.
Buyers should note the flat sits in a very deprived area and a constrained local market, which may affect long-term resale values. The garden is shared and decked rather than fully private, and the property is an upper flat requiring stair access and loft-area head height considerations. EPC C and no flood risk are positives, but prospective purchasers may wish to verify services and appliances independently before exchange.
Overall, this large, characterful flat presents a rare mix of period charm, flexible extra accommodation and good connectivity — a strong value proposition at the asking price for buyers comfortable with a town-centre location.
