Recently renovated kitchen and modern family bathroom throughout
16' sitting room with balcony; good natural light
Two double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes

This chain-free, first-floor flat offers a freshly renovated interior and a practical layout for a first-time buyer. The sitting room opens to a balcony, and the updated kitchen and bathroom reduce immediate maintenance needs. Two double bedrooms both have built-in wardrobes, making the home ready to use or let.
Running costs are straightforward: a combined service charge and ground rent of £175pcm covers communal heating, hot water and buildings insurance. The lease has 116 years remaining, providing long-term security for purchase or mortgage purposes. The property is let at present, which could suit investors seeking an immediate rental income.
Location is a major benefit — a short walk brings you to Norwich city centre amenities and public transport. Practical drawbacks are honest and clear: the building sits in an area with above-average crime rates and high deprivation indicators, communal grounds are modest, and there appears to be no private parking. Communal heating gives less individual control over warmth and costs compared with independent boilers.
Overall this 642 sq ft flat is a sensible, low-effort entry into homeownership or a compact buy-to-let, thanks to its recent refurbishment, long lease and low monthly charges. Buyers wanting private outdoor space, guaranteed parking or rural calm should look elsewhere.
