Ground-floor two-bedroom apartment with private balcony
This roomy ground-floor apartment in a gated Southbank Road development offers low-maintenance, comfortable living for downsizers or buyers seeking a secure, modern home. The open-plan living and kitchen form the heart of the apartment, with French doors to a private balcony that delivers good natural light and outdoor access without garden upkeep. The property is finished to a contemporary standard, with granite worktops, integrated appliances and double glazing throughout.
The layout is practical: a generous principal bedroom with en-suite, a further double bedroom, family bathroom and a useful utility room. Allocated off-street parking and landscaped communal grounds add convenience and curb appeal. The long lease (999 years from 2007) and peppercorn ground rent reduce long-term tenure concerns.
Notable costs and context are clear: an annual service charge of about £1,440 (circa £120 pcm) covers communal maintenance and security, and the property sits in an area classified as communal retirement and ageing urban communities — the community is likely to have a higher proportion of older residents. Broadband speeds are average, though mobile signal is excellent. The flat is offered chain free for a straightforward purchase.
Overall this is a modern, well-equipped apartment that suits someone seeking secure, low-maintenance living close to Hereford amenities. Buyers wanting a private garden or high-speed broadband should note those limitations; refurbishment potential is modest given the contemporary finish.
