Apartment 55 at Cotton Mill is a compact, contemporary one-bedroom suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking low-entry ownership in Kelham Island. Finished in 2022, the flat benefits from a long lease (997 years), a New Homes Warranty and integrated kitchen appliances — all in a building with lift access and a secure cycle store.
The 377 sq ft apartment is efficiently laid out with an open-plan living/kitchen and a bedroom with minimalist fitted wardrobes. The shower room is fully tiled with Porcelanosa fittings. Service charge is below average (reported at around £703) and ground rent is a peppercorn, making outgoings predictable compared with many city centre new builds.
Buyers should weigh the building’s positives against local factors: the property sits in a multicultural, student‑dominated neighbourhood with high crime and very deprived area statistics. The apartment uses electric room heaters as the main heating source, which can mean higher energy costs compared with gas-heated properties. Its small overall size limits flexibility for families but supports strong rental prospects to students and young professionals.
For investors, the Kelham Island location offers strong demand for rental accommodation, nearby amenities and excellent transport and mobile/broadband connectivity. For first-time buyers, it presents a low-maintenance, move‑in‑ready option with the reassurance of warranty cover — provided the local neighbourhood profile suits your lifestyle expectations.
