This compact one-bedroom apartment sits on the first floor within easy walking distance of Peterborough city centre and the train station, making it well suited to commuters and first-time buyers. The open-plan living/kitchen maximises usable space across roughly 377 sq ft, and the property includes off-street parking — a scarce find for central flats.
Practical positives include double glazing, fast broadband and a below-average service charge. The property is offered with no forward chain and an 88-year lease, which may appeal to buyers seeking a quick move or a straightforward buy-to-let starter.
Buyers should note this is a small, leasehold flat with electric room heaters and an electric main fuel supply, which can increase running costs. The area is classified as very deprived with a higher crime rate; buyers should factor local conditions into their decision. The apartment’s kitchen and finishes show signs of wear and would benefit from modest updating to improve comfort or rental return.
Overall, this is a budget-friendly, commuter-friendly option with clear scope for modest refurbishment to add value. It suits someone wanting an entry-level home or an investor targeting city-centre tenants, provided they accept the lease length and the higher running costs associated with electric heating.
