Set on an upper floor of a mid-century Brutalist development, this one-bedroom flat offers bright, dual-aspect living with large windows and a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom. At 466 sq ft, the layout is compact but practical, delivering easy-to-manage urban accommodation suited to a single professional or investor.
The property is offered with a tenant in situ paying £750 pcm; the tenancy is reported as fixed until February 2025 and presents immediate rental income. The development’s long lease (235 years remaining) and relatively low ground rent support longer-term security for leaseholders.
Buyers should note the area’s challenges: the neighbourhood is classified as very deprived and local crime levels are high. Service charge (£1,411 pa) and ground rent (£250 pa) apply, and the main heating is by electric storage heaters — factors that affect running costs and appeal to some occupiers.
For investors the location’s transport links and local amenities are strong draws, with direct routes to key regional centres and plentiful shops, restaurants and services within walking distance. The apartment suits purchasers seeking a straightforward, low-maintenance city-let with immediate income potential.
