Set on the first floor of a gated modern development in Coventry city centre, this two-bedroom apartment delivers practical city living and strong rental appeal. The flat benefits from a recent boiler (2023), double glazing, a Juliet balcony and a designated basement parking space — useful extras for central locations. The long lease (circa 131 years) and current income make it straightforward for buy-to-let investors.
Internally the layout is compact (approx. 527 sq ft) with an open-plan kitchen/living area and two modest double bedrooms. Heating is electric room heaters and the bathroom has a contemporary white suite; there is lift access and an entry-phone system. The property is currently tenanted until August 2025 at £900 pcm, providing immediate rental income.
Costs and practicalities are clear: the service charge is relatively high at about £3,006 per year and ground rent is £200 pa. The neighbourhood is a cosmopolitan, student-heavy city-centre area with very high recorded crime levels — factors to weigh for owner-occupiers and families. Electric heating means higher running costs than gas-heated homes and may affect energy bills despite the EPC B.
For investors, the central position close to the university and station supports strong demand and potential to outperform current rents. For first-time buyers or downsizers seeking low-maintenance city living, the flat is convenient but compact and set in a busy, student-focused area.
