A compact, first-floor one-bedroom flat just a short walk from Peterborough city centre, suited to first-time buyers, downsizers or investors seeking a low-maintenance city base. The lounge’s bay window brings good light and the open-plan layout maximises the flat’s 442 sq ft. An allocated off-street parking space is included — a useful rarity close to the centre.
Practical running costs are a highlight: mains gas central heating, double glazing (installed before 2002) and solar panels on the building contribute to economy, and council tax is described as very cheap. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, making the flat suitable for remote working or streaming.
There are some clear caveats. The flat is leasehold (nominal ground rent £2) and additional leasehold/admin fees may apply. The kitchen is dated and will need modernisation; the overall accommodation is compact and best for singles or couples rather than families. The surrounding area is classed as very deprived with higher local crime levels — buyers should consider these factors when assessing suitability.
For a buyer prioritising location and low running costs over space and contemporary finishes, this flat offers good value. It will suit someone willing to refresh surfaces and the kitchen to personalise the home, or an investor looking for a straightforward let close to transport and local amenities.
