High-ceilinged project with strong uplift potential near local shops and transport.
Chain free one-bedroom flat on first floor
Set on the first floor of a converted Victorian terrace, this one-bedroom flat offers a rare chain-free renovation opportunity close to local amenities. The apartment’s generous lounge/diner with bay window and high ceilings is a standout feature, ready to be modernised into an attractive living space. With around 499 sq ft to work with and a separate kitchen, the layout suits a single occupant, couple or buy-to-let investor seeking immediate uplift potential.
The property requires full refurbishment throughout, so buyers should budget for works to bring the bathroom, kitchen and finishes up to modern standards. Services include mains gas heating via boiler and radiators and double glazing (installation date unknown); the building’s granite walls suggest solid construction but limited built-in insulation. The flat is leasehold with a very long lease of 963 years and is offered with no onward chain, simplifying purchase logistics.
Location strengths include excellent mobile and fast broadband, proximity to shops, bus routes and schools, and a very low council tax band. Note the local context: the wider area is classified as deprived with above-average crime levels, so buyers should factor this into security and investment assessments. For first-time buyers or investors prepared to refurbish, this apartment presents clear scope to create value and personalise a period home.
