Set within a Grade II listed Georgian façade on St Giles Street, this unusually large first-floor apartment offers more than many family homes — while still suiting someone seeking comfortable city-centre retirement living. Over 1,300 sq ft of traditional accommodation includes a 27ft x 16ft reception room with sash windows and a feature fireplace, a spacious principal bedroom with en-suite and walk-in storage, plus a second double bedroom and separate bathroom. The apartment benefits from gas central heating, an intercom entry and a private first-floor entrance.
The layout feels generous and flexible: there is scope to create a third bedroom or reconfigure rooms for occasional guests or a home office, subject to any necessary listed‑building and leasehold permissions. The fitted kitchen/breakfast room and the long L-shaped hallway add useful everyday practicality while period features — high ceilings and mouldings — give strong character and a sense of space.
Buyers should be aware of material constraints: the building’s listed status will limit alterations and may complicate permissions and repairs. The flat is sold leasehold with approximately 101 years remaining (125-year term from 2002); ground rent is nominal (£1 pa) and maintenance is about £75 pcm (circa £900 pa). No resident parking permits are available for this zone. The wider location is a busy, cosmopolitan student and professional neighbourhood with a very high local crime score and marked area deprivation — factors to weigh carefully for those prioritising quiet or low-crime areas.
For the right buyer this is a rare city-centre opportunity: a large, characterful apartment offering convenience, cultural access and flexible space. It will particularly suit someone who values central living and is comfortable managing the practicalities of a listed, leasehold property.
