Compact, energy-efficient one-bed with strong amenity package and parking.
New build (2023) with modern integrated kitchen and fixtures
A compact, newly built one-bedroom apartment in Element — The Quarter, designed with eco-technology and modern finishes. The 2023 build includes solar panels, rainwater recycling, air source heat pump and mechanical heat recovery, helping reduce running costs despite electric heating. The open-plan kitchen and integrated appliances suit low-maintenance urban living for a single occupant or a lettable student tenant.
Onsite facilities support rental appeal: gym, cinema and games lounge, rooftop terrace, landscaped communal space, work-from-home areas, concierge, cycle storage and EV-ready parking. Off-street parking and excellent mobile signal add convenience for residents.
Be clear about costs and context: the flat is leasehold (247 years remaining) with an average service charge of £1,350 and ground rent £94 per year. The apartment is small at about 344 sq ft, so it suits single occupancy, students, or buy-to-let investors rather than families. Broadband speeds are average and the wider area is classified as deprived, which can affect long-term rental values and resale timing.
Overall this is a low-maintenance, energy-efficient city-centre unit offering strong amenity-led rental potential. Buyers should budget for ongoing service charges and accept the limited internal footprint when considering suitability.
