This second-floor one-bedroom in the Octahedron offers compact, city-centre living with practical extras. Recently redecorated and fitted with a new induction hob and oven, the apartment feels fresh and move-in ready. The open-plan living area and double bedroom make efficient use of the 410 sq ft layout.
Practical benefits include a secure allocated parking space, secure intercom entry, lift access and EWS1 compliance — useful for buyers and landlords. The lease has 107 years remaining, EPC C, and service infrastructure has received recent upgrades like new wall heaters and LED lighting.
Notable constraints are its small overall size and electric room heaters rather than central heating, which can be less economical. The service charge (£2,420pa) and ground rent (£250pa) are ongoing costs to factor into affordability. The building sits in a busy, cosmopolitan student area with very high recorded crime levels; this may affect some buyers’ preferences or letability.
This property suits a first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance city base or a buy-to-let investor after a compact, well-presented flat with parking. Its central Jewellery Quarter location gives easy access to transport links, shops and amenities, but expect typical city-centre noise and activity from a mixed-use neighbourhood.
