New York style loft apartment tucked away in historic city centre terrace

A New York style loft apartment has come on the market in Liverpool - and it's got a seriously quirky layout.

Tucked away on a side street off one of the city centre's busiest thoroughfares, this trendy apartment feels a world away once you step inside.

The flat is located on Benson Street, just off the normally bustling Renshaw Street which is filled with restaurants, bars and a casino.

But stepping inside Benson Court, this quirky one-bedroom flat feels like an escape from the busy outside world.

And the unusual design scheme looks like it's come straight out of an episode of Friends, with a New York style loft feel to it.

From the outside, Benson Court looks decidedly traditional, with a stand stone frontage typical of some of the more historic properties in Liverpool city centre.

But the inside couldn't be more modern, with a huge open plan central living space and quirky mezzanine level bedroom.

Photos taken inside and uploaded to Zoopla offer a glimpse inside this New York style loft, showcasing its mezzanine level, exposed brick walls and huge feature windows.

On the market with City Residential, this apartment carries a price tag of £135,000 and is offered up for sale as a leasehold property.

Situated on the ground floor, the exposed bricks and beams lend a certain character to the apartment that's different to your usual studio apartment.

Accessed via a communal entrance, the flat briefly consists of an open plan lounge and kitchen area with the single bedroom tucked away upstairs in the mezzanine.

The modern fitted kitchen boasts high gloss units with a washing machine and a mint green Smeg brand fridge.

In the main living area, wooden floors and exposed brick walls stand alongside exposed steel work, while the giant arch-shaped feature windows really set this property apart.

Stairs lead up to the carpeted mezzanine bedroom which has blinds that can be drawn across the balcony area for a bit of extra privacy.

In the bathroom, a freestanding roll top bath and toilet make good use of the limited space.

Quite remarkably for a city centre apartment that's right at the heart of the action, this property even has its own garden area.

The rear garden is laid with decking while plants bring some colour to the borders of the area.

First listed on April 24 for £135,000, the property was last sold in February 2004 when it fetched £89,950.
