A bright, modern two-bedroom apartment with an open-plan lounge/kitchen and balcony access, ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The master bedroom includes an en suite; both bedrooms are doubles and the property extends to approximately 722 sq ft. Allocated off-street parking and double glazing add practical convenience.
The building was constructed post-2007 and the flat has a long lease (about 105 years remaining). Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent — useful for remote working or letting to students and young professionals. There is no flood risk and council tax is described as affordable.
Buyers should note material negatives: the property is leasehold, set in a deprived neighbourhood with a high local crime rate, and uses electric room heaters rather than gas central heating. The wider area is a multicultural, student-dense neighbourhood which suits investors targeting rental demand but may not suit buyers seeking a quiet, family-focused location. A public notice shows an offer has been made and interested parties may need to act within the 14-day objection period.
Overall, this apartment offers sensible urban living and rental potential for those prepared for an inner-city setting and electric heating. It presents a straightforward entry to the market or a lettable asset with modern finishes and practical parking, balanced by local area challenges that should factor into pricing and occupancy expectations.
