Position is a clear strength: the town centre, mainline train station and the university are all within easy walking distance, making the flat especially convenient for professionals and first-time buyers who need quick links and local amenities. The building is modern (constructed 2007–2011) and benefits from double glazing and gas central heating.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with around 131 years remaining. Annual running costs include a service charge (c. £2,560) and ground rent (£244). The apartment is compact overall and sits in an area with higher crime rates and some local deprivation; these are important considerations for occupants or investors planning tenancy or resale strategies.
For those seeking a well-located, low-flood-risk starter home or a lettable city-centre investment, this property delivers convenient transport links and practical internal space. Be prepared to factor in service charges, ground rent and local area characteristics when assessing long-term costs and suitability.
