Set in a sought-after city-centre complex, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment offers practical contemporary living and immediate access to shops, transport and amenity-rich streets. The apartment measures about 734 sq ft, has a private balcony, communal garden access and secure intercom entry — well suited to a first home or a buy-to-let in a busy central location.
Internally the layout is traditional and well-presented with a bright living area, two double bedrooms and modern bathroom suites. Heating is electric storage with a smart control system (smartphone-enabled) for easier management. The block is relatively modern (constructed c.1996–2002) and double glazed, making it straightforward to maintain.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with a small ground rent (£100), chain-free and council tax is described as affordable. There are clear area considerations — the neighbourhood is a cosmopolitan, student-heavy and professionally mixed inner-city zone with a very high crime score, slow broadband speeds and pockets of deprivation; these factors will affect suitability for some buyers. Overall, the flat offers central convenience and rental potential but buyers should weigh location-related issues and electric heating when deciding to view.
