This striking two-bedroom duplex occupies 1,309 sqft within a converted Victorian school, offering dramatic double-height windows, exposed brick and period character. The raised mezzanine kitchen opens to a generous reception, creating an airy, flexible living space ideal for family life and entertaining. A single stylish bathroom serves both bedrooms; layout works well for couples or small families seeking space near Victoria Park.
Practical benefits include gated off-street parking, a long-share-of-freehold interest with 956 years remaining, and access to a communal roof terrace with vegetable beds and barbecue area. The apartment is fitted with mains gas central heating, double glazing (install date unknown) and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity—useful for homework, home working and streaming.
Notable costs and considerations are clear: an above-average service charge of £5,454 and the building's solid brick construction (likely minimal cavity insulation) may mean higher running costs or future retrofit work. The flat has one bathroom only, and being in a dense inner-city, multicultural student neighbourhood within a deprived wider area, it may feel busy at times. Overall this property blends historic character, generous internal volume and practical perks, but buyers should budget for running costs and potential insulation or remodelling work.
