Three spacious double bedrooms occupy the lower level, the principal with an en-suite and a private Parisian balcony. At c.1,841 sq ft the apartment feels extremely large for a city-centre home and benefits from integrated kitchen appliances, high ceilings and two outdoor spaces for entertaining or quiet retreat.
Practical benefits include secure entry, lift access, on-site concierge, residents’ gym, CCTV in communal areas and an EPC rating of B. The home report values the property at £560,000; the sale is offered at a fixed price of £525,000, presented freehold.
Buyers should note the Category A listed status: any alterations will be restricted and may involve additional consent and cost. The local area is mixed and described as a cosmopolitan student and commuter neighbourhood with a high level of local deprivation; council tax is described as expensive. These factors suit buyers seeking an architecturally significant, low-maintenance city base rather than a suburban family garden property.
