Compact modern apartment ideal for a first home or rental investment close to amenities.
495 sq ft one-bedroom apartment with open-plan lounge/kitchen
Modern fitted bathroom and built-in bedroom wardrobes
Double-glazed windows; community heating scheme (not individual system)
Long lease remaining — approximately 140 years
High flood risk — insurance and mitigation likely required
Located in a very deprived area with very high crime levels
City-centre location with excellent transport and local amenities
Compact layout suits first-time buyers or rental investors
This modern one-bedroom apartment sits on the first floor within the city-centre and offers straightforward, low-maintenance living in a compact 495 sq ft layout. The open-plan lounge, dining and fitted kitchen gives flexible living space while a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a contemporary bathroom complete the accommodation. The long lease (about 140 years) is a practical advantage for buyers and investors.
The property benefits from double glazing and a community heating scheme, plus useful built-in storage and a utility cupboard. Its central location places shops, cafes, transport links and numerous amenities within easy walking distance, which supports rental demand or convenient first-home living.
Buyers should note several material considerations: the property is in a neighbourhood classified as very deprived with very high recorded crime rates, and the site is in a high flooding-risk zone. Tenure is leasehold; council tax band is not provided. These issues affect insurance, personal safety perceptions and suitability for some buyers.
For a buyer seeking a compact city-base or an investor targeting rental demand from students and professionals, this apartment offers a modern, easy-care option with clear pros and cons. A viewing is recommended to assess the neighbourhood and flood mitigation measures personally.
