A striking loft-style one-bedroom apartment arranged over generous 1,000 sqft in the converted Smithfield Buildings. The open-plan living space benefits from dramatic double-height ceilings, large industrial windows and exposed brickwork, while a mezzanine level provides a flexible sleeping or working area. Period features such as original beams and timber flooring sit alongside recent double glazing and an EPC rating of C.
Situated in the heart of the Northern Quarter, the flat is moments from cafés, bars, independent shops and excellent public transport — ideal for someone seeking central city living or a rental investment near universities and music venues. The building’s communal areas are well-maintained and an EWS1 form is available.
Practical points to note: heating is by electric storage heaters rather than gas, the flat is leasehold (long lease of 972 years) with a small ground rent of £100, and the surrounding ward is classified as very deprived with a strong student and nightlife presence. Council tax band is moderate. These factors suit buyers looking for characterful city living or a hands-on investor aware of local market dynamics.
