Description

STYLE IN THE CITY.

Situated within the iconic former Cigar Factory, this exceptional ground-floor duplex apartment effortlessly combines historic character with contemporary city living. Just a short stroll from Nottingham City Centre and the vibrant Canning Circus area, this unique home provides a stylish and cosmopolitan base in one of the city's most distinctive developments.

A truly exceptional feature is the apartment's own private sandstone cave, accessed directly from within the property. The impressive vaulted cave is beautifully illuminated to showcase its natural sandstone walls, creating a remarkable space unlike anything found in a conventional home. Nottingham is world-famous for its extensive network of man-made sandstone caves, and owning a private section of this historic underground landscape offers a fascinating connection to the city's heritage and an unforgettable talking point.

The beautifully presented accommodation is arranged over two floors, creating excellent separation between the living and sleeping areas. On the entrance floor is a bright and spacious open-plan living and dining area, a modern fitted kitchen with appliances and a family bathroom.

On the lower floor are two generous double bedrooms, both offering excellent proportions, together with two well-appointed ensuite shower rooms. The flexible layout is equally suited to owner-occupiers, professional sharers or those who regularly host guests.

Steeped in local history, the former Cigar Factory is a striking Grade II Listed building renowned for once producing cigars for Sir Winston Churchill. Its conversion has retained many original architectural details while providing the comfort expected from a modern city home.

The property also presents an attractive investment opportunity. Based on an estimated rental income of £1,200 per calendar month, the gross rental yield would be approximately 8% at the asking price. Its distinctive character, central location and versatile layout also make it particularly appealing to professionals, city-based buyers and long-term tenants.

Lease: Approximately 970 years remaining
