Set within the modern Snow Hill Wharf development, this fully furnished one-bedroom apartment on the 2nd floor offers a compact, contemporary city base. The open-plan living area leads to a balcony with urban views; integrated kitchen appliances, fitted bedroom wardrobes and in-unit washer/dryer storage add practical everyday convenience.
Residents benefit from 24-hour concierge, an on-site gym and a secure new-build block (constructed 2020). The flat sits on a long lease (245 years) and has an EPC Band B and Council Tax Band C. Community heating supplies the property — check communal service charges when budgeting.
The building’s central B4 location is lively and well connected with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, but the wider area is classified as very deprived with a higher-than-average crime rate and a strong student presence. That makes the apartment suitable for first-time buyers seeking a low-maintenance city home or investors targeting rental demand, particularly short-term or student lets. Flooring, finishes and fittings are modern and move-in ready.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold and in a predominantly student/cosmopolitan neighbourhood; this may influence long-term resale or rental profiles. Overall, the apartment offers contemporary living, strong communal amenities and manageable size for city-centre ownership, provided you accept the local area characteristics and communal running costs.
