Summary - Flat 6, 17, Henry Bird Way NN4 8GD
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact city apartment with parking and strong commuter links.
No onward chain and 101-year lease remaining
This two-bedroom apartment in Southbridge offers a compact, ready-to-live-in base ideal for a first home or rental purchase. The open-plan living, kitchen and dining space maximises the 532 sq ft footprint, and allocated off-street parking adds practical convenience in a city-centre setting. There is no onward chain and the lease has about 101 years remaining.
Practical running costs reflect the building's electric storage heaters and electric main fuel—suitable for buyers who prefer simple, non-gas properties but potentially higher energy costs in winter. The building dates from around 1996–2002 and has double glazing (installation date unknown); the flat appears well presented but is modest in size.
Location is a key strength: the flat is within walking distance of the town centre, station and shops, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal for home working. Road links to the A45 and M1 are quick, increasing commuter appeal. Local schools include several rated Good, which may suit small families.
Buyers should note material local considerations: the area records higher crime levels and is classified as deprived; this may affect long-term capital growth and lettability in some market segments. Council tax band is unspecified. The property is best suited to someone seeking an affordable city-base, investor looking for a straightforward let, or first-time buyer wanting proximity to transport and amenities.
