Modern, low-maintenance one-bedroom with secure parking and long lease in central Leamington Spa.
Large open-plan living, dining and kitchen with Juliet balcony
A well-presented one-bedroom apartment in Edward House, set above Regent Street in the heart of Leamington Spa. The apartment offers a larger-than-typical open-plan living/dining/kitchen with wide kitchen run and Juliet balcony flooding the space with light — a practical, low-maintenance city-centre home or rental. The double bedroom is roomy with dual-aspect windows and fitted wardrobes, and the bathroom and kitchen are modern and neutral in finish.
Practical advantages include allocated secure underground parking within a gated complex, communal paved gardens, and a long lease (125 years from 2004; circa 104 years remaining). Service charge is approximately £1,500 per year with a ground rent of £250 per year. Heating is by electric room heaters and the property has double glazing and a relatively recent build (2003–2006), so major structural works are unlikely in the short term.
Considerations: this is a leasehold city-centre flat — service charges and ground rent apply, and the apartment relies on electric heating which can be more expensive than gas. The area records a very high crime statistic, which may affect some buyers’ preferences or rental yields. The layout and floorplate suit a single occupant or couple rather than a family; minor cosmetic updates may be desired to personalise the neutral finish.
Overall this is a straightforward, modern town-centre apartment that will appeal to commuters, professionals and buy-to-let investors who prioritise location, low maintenance and secure parking in close walking distance to the station and town amenities.
