This bright second-floor flat in Bracondale offers a generous 924 sq ft layout with two double bedrooms, a large sitting/dining room and useful storage/utility space. A newly fitted boiler (2025) and double glazing make the home comfortable now, while a decorative fireplace and period block setting give character close to Norwich city centre, the Riverside and the train station.
Practical benefits include a private garage for secure parking or storage, communal gardens, and relatively low council tax. The kitchen has modern cabinetry and an integrated oven, and the apartment suits first-time buyers or professionals seeking space and a city-edge location with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Buyers should be aware this is a leasehold with 77 years remaining. Mortgage lenders often refuse on leases under around 80 years without a lease extension, so legal and lending checks are essential. Annual service charges and ground rent apply (service charge approx. £1,742.12; ground rent £100 p.a.). EPC rating D and original cavity walls likely lack cavity insulation.
Overall, the flat presents immediate move-in comfort and good central access, but the short lease and ongoing charges are material factors that will affect mortgageability, future costs and resale value. Budget for lease advice and consider long-term plans for lease extension or investment return before committing.
