A compact one-bedroom apartment on Quayside Drive, presented with an open-plan living/kitchen, balcony and integrated appliances. The modern bathroom and laminate floors make it move-in ready for renters or an owner-occupier. Off-street parking and very low flood risk add practical appeal.
This property sits in a cosmopolitan, multicultural student neighbourhood close to shops, leisure and transport — a location that typically supports steady rental demand but can mean higher turnover and occasional noise. The listing notes chain-free sale and a long stated lease (135 years) with an annual service charge of £1,150 and ground rent of £200.
Important factual points: the area records higher crime levels, which may affect desirability and yields; buyers should factor this into pricing and insurance. Also note an apparent title detail to verify: the property is described as FREEHOLD yet a 135-year lease is also stated—confirm tenure and title before exchange.
An investor seeking a low-maintenance, centrally located buy-to-let may find this a straightforward acquisition. Alternatively, a first-time buyer wanting compact city living with off-street parking will appreciate the no-chain position, but should accept the student-neighbourhood dynamics and check local safety data and management arrangements.
