Fifth-floor two-bedroom apartment with private balcony and city views
This fifth-floor two-bedroom apartment in West One Aspect offers compact, modern city living with a private balcony and allocated secure parking. At about 478 sq ft it suits first-time buyers, city professionals or investors seeking a central, low-maintenance base with immediate vacant possession and no onward chain. The long lease (approx. 128 years) gives tenure security.
The open-plan living and kitchen area delivers a bright, usable space and direct access to the balcony with elevated city views. Both bedrooms receive natural light; the bathroom has a shower-over-bath. Recent-looking finishes in the kitchen and double glazing (installed before 2002) reduce immediate refurbishment need, but the overall size is modest.
Running costs and charges are important: the property uses electric storage heaters and mains electricity (no communal fuel), with an average broadband speed and excellent mobile signal. Service charges average £1,880pa and ground rent is £150pa — factor these into affordability. The building dates from the early 1990s and is timber-frame construction (assumed insulated).
Location is a key selling point. Set in a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood close to both universities, shopping and public transport, the flat offers strong rental demand and walkable city living. That same proximity means evenings and weekends can be lively; buyers seeking quiet suburban streets may prefer elsewhere.
