Set on the first floor of a modern development in North Harbour, this two-bedroom apartment offers clear outer-harbour views from a private balcony and a practical layout across about 808 sq ft. The living room flows to the balcony for easy indoor–outdoor use; the fitted kitchen includes integrated appliances and under-cabinet lighting. The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and an en-suite, while a second double bedroom and a family bathroom complete the accommodation.
Practical benefits include an allocated off-street parking space, a long lease (c.102 years) and secure waterside living in an area with very low crime and an affluent local profile. Nearby amenities include the marina, restaurants, leisure facilities and regular bus links. Several local primary and secondary schools are rated Good, and an independent college is highly regarded.
Notable considerations: the property is leasehold with an average annual service charge of £2,281 and a moderate council tax band. Broadband speeds are reported as slow and mobile signal average — important if you work from home. Overall this is a well-presented waterside starter home or buy-to-let with clear lifestyle appeal, provided you accept the ongoing service costs and modest digital connectivity.
