This tenth-floor two-bedroom apartment in Vallea Court offers a compact, modern city base with a private balcony and secure underground parking — attractive for buy-to-let investors or professionals wanting low-fuss city living. The open-plan living/kitchen has floor-to-ceiling glazing, integrated appliances and a balcony with skyline views, creating a light, functional living area for tenants or owner-occupiers.
The principal bedroom includes an en-suite and there is a second double bedroom plus a family bathroom, making layout flexible for sharers or a small family. Practical details include double glazing, electric wall heaters, an on-site manager, lifts to every floor and communal gardens. An EWS1 certificate is in place and the EPC rating is C.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold (circa 131 years remaining), with an annual service charge around £3,714.65 and ground rent of £250. Heating is electric room heaters rather than gas central heating — this may raise running costs compared with gas-heated flats. The building sits in a busy, multicultural student neighbourhood and the wider area is classed as very deprived; this influences the tenant mix and resale profile.
Overall this is a practical, low-management apartment with secure parking and good transport links. It suits investors seeking reliable city rental income or professionals wanting a central base, provided they accept the service charges, electric heating and the local area character.
