Quietly tucked within a mid-terrace Brutalist block, this well-presented 1-bedroom apartment offers a smart, move-in-ready home for a first-time buyer or investor. The open-plan lounge/diner and fitted kitchen create bright, flexible living space, while a separate office adds practical work-from-home capability and loft access.
At about 489 sq ft, the layout feels spacious for a one-bedroom city flat. The bathroom and kitchen are contemporary in style, and recent internal presentation reduces immediate maintenance needs. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support commuting and remote working, and the property benefits from communal gardens for outdoor space.
There are important practical points to note: the property is leasehold with 88 years remaining, a service charge of £300 (below average) and a ground rent of £10. The wider neighbourhood faces high crime and area deprivation, and the building’s concrete, mid-1970s construction and double glazing fitted before 2002 may mean some future repair or upgrade costs.
Good transport links to the M1, M25 and mainline station make this a sensible base for commuters. Schools nearby include two rated Good and one requiring improvement. Overall this flat suits buyers seeking an affordable, low-maintenance city apartment with clear scope for personalisation — viewings recommended to appreciate space and condition in person.
