A well-presented two-bedroom apartment arranged over a comfortable, open-plan layout. The lounge/diner opens onto a balcony with views over the River Soar, bringing natural light into the main living space. The main bedroom has an en-suite and both bedrooms are doubles, useful for sharers or a home office.
Practical benefits include allocated gated parking and proximity to the city centre, shops, restaurants and universities — a short walk to Highcross and local transport links. The building is modern, built in the early 2000s, with double glazing and low-maintenance communal areas.
Buyers should note material facts: the property is leasehold with c.103 years remaining, an annual service charge around £1,200 and ground rent of £150. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the property's flood risk is recorded as high, which may affect insurance and suitability for some buyers.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance city-base with good rental and commuting appeal. It offers immediate occupation and straightforward living, but purchasers should investigate insurance, flood mitigation and running costs before committing.
