Light-filled, contemporary two-bedroom apartment in Longhorn Avenue offers an easy-entry purchase for a first-time buyer. The open-plan living and kitchen area opens onto a private balcony, creating a pleasant social space for cooking and relaxing. Both bedrooms are double-sized and the apartment is well-presented with double glazing and modern heating from a gas boiler.
Practical extras include one allocated off-street parking space, communal low-maintenance grounds, and useful hallway storage. The building was constructed 2007–2011, so many structural elements are recent; the 108-year lease gives long-term security for a leasehold purchase. Council tax is cheap, making running costs lower than average.
Location is a strong draw: walkable to the town centre, the Quays, a large superstore and nearby universities — good for commuting, rental demand, or convenient city living. Broadband speeds are average and mobile signal is excellent.
Important considerations: the area is classified as very deprived with a very high crime rating, and there is a medium flood risk — both factors that should inform insurance, security and resale expectations. The property is leasehold with an annual ground rent of £225; verify service charges and any upcoming works before committing.
