Set within the City Heights development in Mapperley, this two-bedroom ground-floor apartment offers generous ceiling heights, a private patio and long 976-year lease — rare positives for a leasehold flat. The living room opens onto a small, low-maintenance garden via patio doors, and a fitted kitchen and bathroom provide move-in-ready convenience. The property is sold chain free and includes an allocated off-street parking space.
A standout feature is the fitted log burner connected to a flu-lined chimney, supplemented by electric heating and triple glazing for improved warmth and comfort. The block is leaseholder-controlled (Right to Manage) with a stable annual service charge of £1,400 that covers buildings insurance and communal upkeep. EPC C and pets are allowed.
Notable drawbacks are the apartment’s location within an area with above-average crime and the current reliance on electric heating (though the log burner offers additional heating). The property is leasehold with a small ground rent of £125 per year and an average service charge — facts that buyers should factor into affordability calculations. Overall, this apartment suits first-time buyers or downsizers seeking long-term security, characterful features and low exterior maintenance.
