A bright two-bedroom second-floor apartment set within the city walls, offered chain-free and ready to move into. The dual-aspect lounge fills with natural light and overlooks a park, creating a calm central retreat. Allocated parking in a secure car park is a rare central convenience. The flat sits within easy walking distance of shops, bus and train stations, suiting commuters and city-centre lifestyles.
The accommodation is a straightforward, linear layout with two double bedrooms and two shower rooms, including an ensuite. The property presents as a blank canvas: neutral décor, recessed lighting and large windows mean minimal cosmetic work is required for immediate occupation, while also offering scope to personalise. The long lease (975 years) reduces long-term leasehold uncertainty.
Practical points to note: heating is by electric room heaters rather than a communal boiler or gas central heating, which can increase running costs. The property has an annual service charge (approx. £2,284) and is leasehold — buyers must verify all lease and service details with their solicitor. Local crime levels are reported as very high for the area, which may affect some buyers’ priorities.
For first-time buyers and professionals seeking a central base, this apartment combines location, parking and a flexible living space. It is particularly attractive to those who value easy access to transport links and city amenities, and who are comfortable managing the higher running costs associated with electric heating and the service charge.
