Compact period home with long lease and good transport links.
First-floor two-bedroom flat with balcony and green outlook
This first-floor two-bedroom apartment sits in a handsome Victorian terrace on St. Quintin Avenue, with a sunny balcony overlooking mature trees. High ceilings and tall windows create a bright, airy reception room that flows to the outdoor space — ideal for relaxed city living and entertaining.
Accommodation is compact but well laid out: a modern, neatly fitted kitchen, a shower room, two bedrooms and generous built-in storage. The property extends to about 565 sq ft and benefits from a long lease (share of freehold with c.899 years remaining), making it straightforward for buyers seeking ownership security.
Practical details to note: the building’s solid-brick construction dates from before 1900 and likely has little insulation, which may affect heating costs. Service charges average £1,500 per year and council tax is above average; the local area records above-average crime and higher deprivation indices. Those factors are balanced by excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and strong transport links nearby.
For a first-time buyer or couple wanting an attractive period home with outdoor space and scope to personalise, this flat offers immediate comfort and sensible longer-term potential. Expect to invest modestly in energy-efficiency work or cosmetic updates to maximise value.
