- Double glazing fitted post-2002 reduces noise
- Service charge approx £2,600 per year; ground rent £250

A compact, city-centre two-bedroom apartment offering straightforward rental or first-home potential in the Harbourside area. The second-floor flat benefits from lift access, a video entry system and double glazing installed after 2002, helping with security and noise. The open-plan living/kitchen overlooks a courtyard and has room for dining; both bedrooms are doubles and the bathroom has a modern white suite with a full-size bath and shower over.
Practical running costs are higher than average: the service charge is around £2,600 pa and ground rent is £250 pa. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the building walls are likely solid brick with no cavity insulation, so heating costs may be significant. Broadband speeds are very slow in this location and the local crime rate is reported as very high — factors to consider for tenants or owner-occupiers.
Leasehold with 106 years remaining gives long-term security for mortgage lenders and buyers; council tax is described as affordable. The setting is highly central — 0.2 miles from Harbourside and St Nicholas Market — which supports strong rental demand from students and young professionals but also brings higher footfall and associated noise. Overall this is a compact, well-located apartment suited to investors or buyers prioritising central living over space.
