A compact one-bedroom apartment arranged on the first floor, offering straightforward town-centre living and a rare single garage on Whalley Street. At about 399 sq ft this flat suits a single professional, couple or landlord seeking a central, easy-to-manage property with strong rental potential.
The accommodation is clean and mostly well presented, with double glazing and gas central heating to radiators. The open-plan lounge/kitchen maximises usable space and the separate bedroom and shower room provide practical daily living. The integral single garage is a standout benefit for central Peterborough parking and storage.
Important practical notes: the property is leasehold with 91 years remaining and an average service charge of around £1,600 per year. The building sits in a very deprived area with higher-than-average local crime rates, and the communal fabric shows some external wear (roof moss and paintwork may need attention). The small overall size and some dated internal fittings (kitchen vinyl flooring and some ceiling damage reported) mean cosmetic updating could be required.
For first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors, this is a low-maintenance city-base with immediate access to shops, transport and local schools. Factor in the leasehold position, annual service costs and neighbourhood considerations when assessing long-term value or rental income.
