Set on the first floor of a contemporary block, this two-bedroom flat offers a practical, low-maintenance home ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The open-plan living and kitchen area opens onto a private balcony, creating a bright social hub for everyday living and entertaining. Both bedrooms are doubles, with the principal bedroom benefitting from an en-suite shower room. An allocated undercroft parking space adds convenience in this central location.
Positioned close to Ocean Village Marina, Oxford Street, the city centre and the central railway station, the apartment scores highly for transport and leisure access. Gas central heating and double glazing (installed post-2002) provide efficient, familiar services. The property is offered with no onward chain and a long lease (circa 102–103 years remaining), which supports mortgage eligibility and resale potential.
Buyers should note several material considerations. The area is recorded as having a high flood risk and higher local crime levels, which may affect insurance costs and suitability for some purchasers. The long lease is positive, but the home is leasehold with an annual service charge of around £1,800 and ground rent of about £300, which should be factored into affordability calculations. Information on construction materials and some service charge details will need solicitor verification.
Overall this is a sensible, well-located apartment for someone seeking easy city living or an income-producing asset. It balances strong commuter and leisure links with predictable running costs; buyers who prioritise low maintenance and central convenience will find it appealing, while those concerned about flood risk or neighbourhood crime should investigate further with insurers and local authorities.
