Description
This striking and characterful apartment offers a superb blend of contemporary living and industrial-style design, set within a highly sought-after and central location. Defined by its impressive proportions and unique architectural features, the property delivers a spacious and versatile layout ideal for modern city living, further enhanced by recent redecoration throughout completed in March 2026.
At the heart of the home is the standout open-plan lounge and dining area, a bright and expansive space enhanced by high ceilings, exposed steel beams and large windows that flood the room with natural light. The generous proportions comfortably accommodate both seating and dining areas, creating an ideal setting for relaxing or entertaining. The open aspect continues through to a well-appointed kitchen, fitted with a range of units and workspace, along with integrated appliances including a dishwasher, fridge, freezer, halogen hob and oven, and complemented by a breakfast bar that adds a sociable and practical element to the layout.
The property offers two well-sized bedrooms, both providing comfortable accommodation with ample space for furnishings. The principal bedroom benefits from excellent proportions, while the second bedroom offers flexibility for guests, home working or additional storage. A contemporary shower room and separate bathroom are both finished in a clean, modern style, enhancing convenience for day-to-day living.
A particular feature of this home is the mezzanine level, accessed via a fixed ladder, which provides a unique additional bed deck and office area. This versatile space is currently arranged as a study but could serve a variety of purposes including a guest sleeping area, home office or creative workspace, further adding to the overall appeal.
The property is positioned within a vibrant and well-connected part of the city, known for its mix of historic character and modern amenities. A wide selection of independent bars, restaurants and cafes are within easy reach, alongside larger retail options and everyday conveniences. The area is particularly popular with professionals, offering a strong lifestyle balance between work and leisure.
Transport connections are excellent, with nearby rail stations providing direct access across the city and beyond, while tram and bus routes offer further connectivity.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
