Chain-free one-bedroom flat with parking and bus links to the city centre.
Chain-free one-bedroom flat with open-plan kitchen-lounge
A compact one-bedroom apartment in Bridgewater House, offered chain-free and priced for first-time buyers or investors. The open-plan kitchen–lounge is bright with large windows and modern fitted units, while the double bedroom and bathroom are presented neutrally and ready to occupy. Allocated off-street parking and a bus route to the city centre add practical convenience.
Important practical details are straightforward: the flat is leasehold with 113 years remaining, an annual service charge of about £3,244 and a small ground rent of £250. Heating is electric room heaters rather than central heating, which may increase running costs compared with gas systems. Council tax is very cheap.
The building is a mid‑20th century multi-storey block set back from Blackpole Road with mature landscaping and screening around the grounds. The block’s scale and communal maintenance mean residents share upkeep costs — factor the service charge into affordability and investment returns. The surrounding area is classed as deprived with average local crime levels; consider local rental demand and your commuting needs.
Overall this is a pragmatic, low‑entry purchase: suitable for someone seeking an affordable home to occupy or a straightforward buy‑to‑let with good daylight, parking and public transport links. Expect to budget for electric heating costs and ongoing service charges when comparing options.
