This upper-floor one-bedroom apartment sits on Fleet Street with direct canal views and a private balcony — ideal for buyers seeking low-maintenance city-centre living or a student-let investment. The open-plan kitchen/living/dining space and large double-glazed windows maximise light and waterside outlook. Lift access and ample internal storage make the layout practical for everyday living.
Constructed around 2003–2006, the building benefits from modern brickwork and recent double glazing. The flat is presented in good order and ready to occupy, with electric cooking and room heaters already installed. At 545 sq ft the accommodation is a comfortable one-bed layout for a couple, single occupant, or investor targeting city-centre rentals near universities and transport hubs.
Buyers should note important running costs and local context: the leasehold service charge is approximately £2,900 a year, council tax band D applies, and broadband speeds in the area are reported very slow. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a communal system, which could affect bills.
The immediate neighbourhood is a busy, multicultural student and city-centre area with excellent transport links and many amenities but also a very high local crime level. Prospective purchasers should verify lease details and service charge inclusions, and consider rental demand or personal needs given the urban setting and slower broadband.
