There is an under‑pavement cellar for additional storage and shared access (subject to annual maintenance fee) to the private Queens Street Gardens East nearby. The location places you a short walk from cultural attractions, shops, trams and mainline stations — ideal for professionals, city buyers or investors seeking central rental demand.

There’s no private garden and parking is on‑street by permit (Zone 6) or pay-and-display. EPC rating D and Council Tax band F (noted as expensive) may affect running costs. The wider area is described as a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood with pockets of deprivation; prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on the neighbourhood suitability.
