This duplex apartment occupies a converted red-brick warehouse a short walk from Liverpool city centre and Sandhills station. The split-level layout delivers an open-plan living/dining/kitchen on the upper floor with tall industrial-style windows and two bedrooms below, ideal for a single occupant, couple or buy-to-let investor seeking city-centre rental demand. The property is vacant with no onward chain and includes resident off-street parking and secure communal areas.
The interior is presented in refurbished condition: a modern three-piece bathroom, integrated kitchen appliances and strong natural light into the open-plan space. Practical details are favourable for easy occupation — vacant possession, a long lease (circa 102 years remaining), and modest ground rent of £25. The 775 sq ft (approx. 72 sq m) layout makes efficient use of space in a characterful loft setting.
Buyers should note material costs and local context before viewing. The development’s average annual service charge is around £2,100 and heating is by electric storage heaters, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas. The immediate area records very high crime statistics and is classified as a very deprived neighbourhood, factors that affect resale and rental perceptions. There is no private garden, only communal amenity grounds.
Overall this is a practical, well-presented city apartment that offers quick access to transport, amenities and Everton’s new stadium. It suits a buyer seeking an affordable, characterful urban home or an investor wanting lettable accommodation close to the city centre — provided they budget for service charges and potentially higher utility costs tied to electric heating.
