Set over the entire top floor of an ornate mid‑Victorian building, this three‑bedroom penthouse delivers substantial living space (about 1,329 sq ft) and long views to Olivers Mount. High ceilings, period detailing and a bright lounge/dining room give the apartment strong character, while the private lift and access to pleasant communal gardens add everyday convenience.
The layout includes a spacious kitchen/diner, a large master bedroom, two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom with an additional en‑suite WC off one bedroom. The property is offered freehold, with an average annual maintenance charge of approximately £1,700 and very low council tax (Band A).
Practical points to note: glazing is only partial double glazing and, as a solid brick Victorian build, the walls likely lack modern cavity insulation — further energy works could be required. The wider neighbourhood is classified as very deprived with higher local crime rates and a strong student presence, which will influence resale or rental demand.
This penthouse will suit buyers seeking a sizable, characterful apartment with development potential — ideal for those able to invest in targeted upgrades (insulation, windows, cosmetic works) to unlock comfort and efficiency. Views, space and freehold tenure are the main strengths; budget realistically for improvement and be comfortable with the surrounding area’s social profile.
