This one-bedroom, first-floor apartment in CV1 offers a practical, move-in-ready option for first-time buyers or investors. The open-plan living area feels bright thanks to Juliet balcony doors and double glazing, while glossy white kitchen cabinets and a modern three-piece bathroom keep the interior low-maintenance. The property includes an allocated off-street parking space and secure entry into a relatively new brick-built development.
Financially, the flat sits on a long lease (136 years remaining) with modest ground rent (£180 pa). Note the service charge is £1,800 per year; factor this alongside council tax Band B and electric room heaters when budgeting ongoing costs. The property is chain-free and offered at an accessible price point, which may appeal to buyers seeking a straightforward purchase or investors targeting student and young-professional lets.
Location is a strong selling point: immediate access to Coventry University, local shops, cafes and public transport links make the flat easy to rent and convenient for daily life. Commuters benefit from nearby rail and road connections. However, the surrounding area is a multicultural student neighbourhood with very high recorded crime levels; consider this for resale, insurance, and tenancy choices.
Overall, this apartment suits someone prioritising location, low-initial-maintenance living and rental potential. It’s best for first-time buyers wanting an affordable city-base or investors aiming at the student/young-professional market, but prospective purchasers should review the service charge, electric heating costs, and local crime statistics before committing.
