Set on the third floor of a traditional sandstone tenement, this generously proportioned flat blends period character with practical city living. The bay-windowed sitting room, high ceilings and fireplace create an impressive main reception, while stripped wood floors run throughout key rooms.
Accommodation includes a large kitchen/dining room suited to entertaining, one well-sized double bedroom located quietly to the rear, and a useful box bedroom/study that benefits from borrowed light and excellent storage. The bathroom has a window and shower; the home is double-glazed and has gas central heating.
Practical advantages include freehold tenure, an affordable Council Tax band, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. There is a well-maintained shared rear garden for residents and good local amenities and transport within walking distance. EPC rating C is recorded.
Considerations: the property sits on the third floor with no lift, and the secondary box bedroom has limited natural light. The wider neighbourhood is classified as very deprived, which may affect long-term resale or tenant demand despite nearby amenities. Overall, the flat offers clear buy-to-let potential or a comfortable city home for a single occupant or couple.
