This first-floor apartment in CV1 presents a practical, low-maintenance home close to Coventry University and the city centre. The open-plan living area, modern kitchen with glossy cabinetry and a Juliet balcony-style door bring plenty of natural light to the main living space, while the double bedroom and three-piece bathroom provide straightforward, ready-to-live-in accommodation.
Practical features suit first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors: allocated off-street parking, double glazing, and a long lease (136 years remaining). The block is modern and brick-built, and residents benefit from secure entry. Transport links are strong, with easy access to Coventry rail station and major roads.
Buyers should note the ongoing costs and local context: an annual service charge of about £1,800 and ground rent of £180 apply, and heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating. The surrounding neighbourhood is a multicultural, student-dominated area with a higher crime rate and general area deprivation, which can affect long-term resale and rental stability.
Overall this apartment offers an affordable entry into Coventry’s central market with good rental potential, but purchasers must factor in service charges, heating type and local area characteristics when assessing suitability.
