This modern two-bedroom apartment sits on an upper floor with a balcony overlooking Park Central, offering a quiet city-facing aspect and usable outdoor space. The open-plan living room and kitchen create a generous social hub, while two bathrooms add practical convenience for sharers or a small family. At roughly 729 sq ft the layout feels roomy for an apartment of this age. Built post-2012, it benefits from double glazing and contemporary finishes.
Practical everyday living is supported by off-street resident parking, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for professionals working from home. The property’s electric storage heating and mains electricity supply are typical for newer urban developments but may mean higher running costs than gas-heated homes. Leasehold details show c.98 years remaining; buyers should factor lease length into mortgage and future resale considerations.
Costs and local context are important: an average service charge of £3,660pa and a small ground rent of £125pa apply. The immediate area is an inner-city, cosmopolitan neighbourhood popular with renting families, with good local amenities and transport links, but it sits within a deprived ward and has above-average crime levels. These realities affect both lifestyle and investment considerations.
For first-time buyers this flat offers a straightforward move-in option with contemporary styling, private outdoor space and parking. Investors will note the location’s rental-market fit and connectivity, but must account for service charges, lease length and local socioeconomic indicators when assessing yield. A viewing will quickly show whether the apartment’s practical benefits outweigh the financial and area trade-offs for your plans.
