This no-onward-chain two-bedroom first-floor flat offers straightforward entry into Norwich property ownership. The accommodation includes a lounge/diner, separate kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom, presented in generally good decorative order and benefitting from double glazing.
Practical running costs are clear: communal gas heating is provided via a community scheme and its cost is included in the annual service charge. The flat comes with permit parking, access to well-kept communal gardens and a small external storage shed – useful extras for day-to-day living.
Important facts for buyers: the property is leasehold with about 87 years remaining, a ground rent of £10 pa and an annual service charge of £1,630.46. The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and, while presented cleanly, the block and individual flat are modest in size and may suit buyers prepared for limited living space.
Location is convenient for city amenities, public transport and local schools, but the surrounding area records higher crime levels and notable deprivation. The flat suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor who values low initial purchase friction, clear running-cost structure, and basic, ready-to-live-in accommodation — buyers should factor in lease length and service charges when budgeting.
