Set in the heart of Norwich city centre, this chain-free one-bedroom maisonette offers an accessible first home or city rental. The open-plan lounge/kitchen benefits from built-in appliances, Velux windows and a compact, usable layout across approximately 560 sqft. Gas central heating and double glazing keep running costs reasonable, supported by an EPC C and council tax band B.
The apartment sits on an upper level with a well-proportioned double bedroom, built-in wardrobe and loft access. Practical fixtures include a fitted kitchen with oven, hob and extractor, integrated washing machine and fridge/freezer, plus a bathroom with shower over bath. Garages are available to rent nearby for about £75 per month if off-street parking or storage is needed.
This is a leasehold property with an annual ground rent of £160 and a service charge around £2,096.66 (2024/25). That service charge is a material ownership cost to factor in alongside the guide price of £130,000–£140,000. The building dates from the 1980s and is described as average-sized, so buyers should assume standard maintenance and consider a survey for fabric or system updates.
The location suits students and young professionals seeking city access, amenities and fast broadband, but prospective buyers should note the local area is classified as deprived with a very high crime level. These factors affect resale and rental markets; careful budgeting and local due diligence are recommended before commitment.
