About this property
City Centre Location
Modern One Bedroom Apartment
Great Investment Opportunity
Just round the corner from Preston’s most sought after square, this smart one-bedroom apartment gives investors the edge - combining a heritage location curb appeal with modern efficiency, just a short walk from the station.
You get all the Georgian charm outside - with none of the Georgian draughty sash windows or need for constant upkeep inside.
Professionals love the walk-to-everything lifestyle. Students settle here after graduating. And Airbnb guests book for the Winckley Square picture postcard views and come back for the clean, modern finish and city-centre convenience.
Inside, you’ll find a bright, open-plan living space with a modern fitted kitchen, a double bedroom and a clean, tiled three-piece bathroom with a shower over the bath.
There’s laminate flooring through the living space, cosy carpet in the bedroom and a separate storage cupboard off the hallway to keep things clutter-free.
Purchased in 2020 by the current owner as part of a high-quality office conversion, the apartment still feels fresh and ready to let. And with a long lease already in place, it's a low-hassle option for investors who want simplicity and strong returns from the start.
With demand from both short-stay guests and long-term tenants far outstripping local supply, this is a smart investment that works from day one.
Whether you're letting to city workers, students or weekend visitors, this flat gives you a prime postcode that quietly delivers reliable returns.
You can expect to receive around £700pcm renting it out on a long term AST or upto £700 per week as a short term let.
A prime Winckley Square location paired with a modern, low-upkeep apartment - perfect for investors seeking flexible income from both long-term lets and high-yield short stays.
