<b><i>Large Victorian top floor flat with private attic (offering potential</i></b>)
This flat occupies part of the top floor of a substantial stone-built tenement dating back to around 1890 which is well presented throughout. The classic layout (105 sqm) is spacious and has the added bonus of a private attic space offering potential for conversion (subject to necessary planning consent). It is high-ceilinged and retains several period features including intricate cornicing and original wooden floorboards. The elegant bay-windowed sitting room now includes a versatile dining recess (or study area). To the rear is the large refitted kitchen/dining room. Both bedrooms are good doubles and the bathroom has also been upgraded recently and is finished with modern charcoal tiles throughout. The property is an ideal City Centre home or equally an excellent letting opportunity with a likely rental yield of £1400 - £1500pcm.
The flat benefits from gas central heating and double glazed replacement windows. The gas boiler was recently replaced in 2019.
There is a communal rear garden and on street permit parking.
