Step into a two-bedroom duplex in The Pressworks, a newly completed development in the Jewellery Quarter. The apartment offers a private roof terrace, high ceilings and exposed brick character from the restored Grade II listed building, combined with a new-build element for modern living. Ready for immediate occupation, it suits buyers seeking central location and strong rental demand.
The layout provides flexible open-plan living with contemporary finishes and good natural light from large Crittall-style windows. The long 999-year lease and peppercorn ground rent reduce long-term tenure concerns, while an annual service charge (£1,641.86) covers communal maintenance and courtyards. Broadband speeds are currently very slow — important for home workers or streamed tenants.
Notable negatives are factual: the building’s listed status may restrict alteration and could complicate consent processes; the neighbourhood records higher crime and the wider area is classified as deprived, which may affect long-term capital growth. Council tax and EPC are to be confirmed. These factors suit investor buyers seeking central, character properties with professional tenants or owner-occupiers prioritising location over suburban tranquillity.
