Description
Historic Charm Meets Modern City Living
This apartment needs to be seen to be truly appreciated, mixing old and new together - creating a stunning property in the heart of the historic city centre. Located on the Rows and part of a renovation in recent years, this fourth floor apartment consists of: entrance hall, lounge with views out to the city centre, kitchen with integrated appliances and granite work surfaces, modern shower room and spacious bedroom.
With the benefit of lease permission for short-term holiday lets, this is the ideal investment for an already established service accommodation landlord, or someone looking to break into the holiday let market.
Right in the Heart of It All
Located in the heart of the city centre, close to independent coffee shops, restaurants and bars; the property is definitively 'city living'. The communal entrance is located off the Rows on Lower Bridge Street, leading to a stairwell and private entrance to the apartment.
Sky-High with City Views
Step through the entrance door and into the welcoming hall, where exposed brick walls and original beams immediately showcase the property's historic character. Plush newly fitted carpet underfoot, an obscured window providing natural light, and an intercom phone entry system complete this charming arrival space.
The living room is where the magic truly happens - a sash window with secondary glazing frames a fantastic view down Bridge Street, creating the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation. Exposed original beams add character above, while newly fitted carpet and two electric storage heaters ensure comfort throughout the year. TV/SAT/Phone points keep you connected to the modern world.
Cook, Dine & Entertain in Style
The bespoke modern fitted kitchen seamlessly blends contemporary convenience with the property's original features. Base units topped with granite work surfaces provide both style and functionality, while integrated 'Beko' fridge and freezer, 'Hotpoint' washer-dryer, and built-in oven and hobs ensure you have everything needed for daily life. The inset sink with mixer tap and drainer handles the practical side, while the separate granite work surface opposite the main units creates an ideal breakfast spot for leisurely mornings.
A Peaceful Sleep
The bright and light shower room feels like a private spa retreat, featuring a walk-in shower cubicle with 'Mira Platinum' digital shower valve and controller pump for the perfect shower experience. A sink with two-drawer vanity unit underneath provides storage, while the low-level W.C and sash window with obscured pane complete this well-appointed space.
The spacious bedroom offers a peaceful sanctuary with plush fitted carpet and built-in wardrobe space keeping everything organised. Exposed brick walls and original beams create character, while the sash window with secondary glazing brings in natural light. Floor spotlights add ambient lighting options, and two electric storage heaters ensure year-round comfort.
