Open-plan living with floor-to-ceiling windows delivers strong natural light and city views; finishes are contemporary and the layout makes good use of 732 sq ft for urban living.
Practical details are favourable: a long lease (988 years) removes immediate leasehold pressure, and broadband and mobile signal are excellent. The building sits in a mixed-use central location with immediate access to shops, restaurants and strong transport links — convenient for commuters and students.
Buyers should note material running costs: the service charge is high (£4,400 p.a.) and council tax is above average, which will affect monthly outgoings. Crime statistics for the area are above average and there is no private garden — outdoor space is limited to any communal areas or balconies on some elevations.
Overall this is a compact, modern city apartment with good natural light and practical layout. It suits someone seeking a low-maintenance urban home or an investor targeting steady rental demand, provided the recurring charges are factored into affordability calculations.
