Set back from busy Dereham Road, this one-bedroom ground-floor apartment offers a private entrance, patio and allocated parking — practical features that suit first-time buyers seeking low-maintenance city living. The bright double-windowed lounge and a spacious double bedroom make the layout feel larger than the footprint suggests. Gas central heating and double glazing keep running costs modest, supported by a long lease of 949 years that removes immediate leasehold concerns.
The kitchen is tidy but small and shows signs of age, so there’s scope to modernise to your taste and add value. Annual outgoings are modest: service charge around £660 and ground rent £240 (combined payments about £900/year). The EPC rating is D; the cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation, so further efficiency improvements are possible.
Location is a key draw — NR2 places shops, cafés, frequent bus routes and Norwich city centre within easy reach. The property is near schools and green spaces, but note local crime levels are above average. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and there’s no flood risk.
Overall, this apartment is a straightforward, affordable entry into Norwich property ownership with short-term convenience and medium-term potential through simple updating. Verify council tax banding and leasehold charges during legal checks.
