Set on the first floor of a traditional stone tenement in the heart of Broughton, this two-bedroom flat offers bright, central city living within easy walking distance of St James Quarter, tram and frequent bus routes. The open-plan lounge/kitchen benefits from good natural light and a practical contemporary kitchen area; two double bedrooms provide flexible sleeping or working space.
Practical features include gas central heating, double glazing and off-street permit parking. A stylish shower room plus a separate W/C improve morning routines for flatshares or couples. At approximately 499 sq ft the accommodation is compact but well laid-out, and the freehold tenure removes leasehold complications often found in city flats.
This home will suit first-time buyers or commuters seeking a low-maintenance city base with excellent transport links and local amenities. Be aware the flat is small by modern standards, with no private garden and positioned in a ward described as very deprived — buyers wanting quieter, suburban surroundings or larger living spaces should note this. For investors, the student/commuter location supports rental demand, though consider management of a compact two-bedroom layout.
Overall, the property is a convenient, characterful city apartment that offers immediate move-in potential and everyday practicality, with clear trade-offs in size and neighbourhood profile.
