A bright, characterful first-floor flat in an A‑listed Georgian building, moments from The Shore’s bars and waterfront. The open-plan living space makes the most of high ceilings and large sash windows, creating an airy loft-like feel. A contemporary kitchen, built-in storage and a private external store cupboard add practical value for everyday living.
The double bedroom sits on a mezzanine-style sleeping platform, offering extra storage or flexible use of the footprint within the 517 sq ft layout. Gas central heating and predominantly double glazed windows help with comfort and running costs; council tax is described as cheap. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband suit remote working and streaming.
There are important constraints to note: the building’s A‑listed status means alterations and some repairs will require listed‑building consent and specialist contractors, which can increase costs and timelines. Parking is on-street by residents’ permit rather than private off‑street parking. The wider local area is classified as very deprived, which may affect perceptions and future resale dynamics.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer or professional seeking a compact, stylish city home close to great transport links (tram nearby) and local amenities. It also offers clear rental potential for investors, subject to listed‑building considerations and any management responsibilities that arise from the building’s status.
