Set within a red sandstone Victorian tenement, this compact one-bedroom upper-floor flat blends period character with practical city living. The lounge enjoys a large bay window and high ceilings that flood the room with natural light, and the kitchen offers modern white units and a breakfast bar. Gas central heating and double glazing give year-round comfort, and a secure entry system leads into a well-kept traditional close.
Ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor, the home is well placed for commuting: frequent bus and rail links and quick access to motorway routes are close by. A range of shops, cafes, restaurants and services are all within walking distance, making day-to-day life straightforward in this lively neighbourhood.
The flat is small (approximately 401 sq ft) and occupies the third floor, which may suit those comfortable with stairs. Some rooms show dated decor and could benefit from cosmetic updating to maximise comfort or rental return. The area is described as very deprived, which can affect resale values and demand in the longer term—buyers should weigh local market conditions.
Freehold tenure, low council tax (Band B) and no flood risk are practical advantages. Early viewing is recommended to assess the property’s scale and any refurbishment needs in person.
