A ground-floor two-bedroom flat with a rare private rear garden and dedicated off-street parking, offered with no onward chain. The long lease (951 years) makes this a straightforward purchase for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-hassle entry into Norwich property. The flat is compact (approximately 404 sq ft) but well laid out: separate lounge, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and a shower room, with direct garden access via the kitchen.
The large enclosed garden and garden shed are genuine extras for this property type, providing outdoor space rarely found with flats at this price. The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and appears generally well maintained; double glazing and mains gas central heating are already in place. Service charge is currently around £1,025 per year and council tax is very low, helping to contain running costs.
Buyers should note the wider area has higher-than-average crime and is described as very deprived with ‘hampered aspiration’ classifications; local amenities and good transport links (near the A47 and Norwich Community Hospital) partly offset those negatives. The apartment’s overall footprint is small, so buyers wanting generous living space should expect to compromise or consider modest internal reconfiguration. Any purchaser should independently verify services and measurements and allow for minor cosmetic updating where desired.
For investors this unit offers steady rental potential in an accessible city location with excellent mobile and broadband speeds. For first-time buyers it represents an affordable purchase with low council tax, a long lease and private outdoor space — a practical home that can be improved over time.
